Hm, I´ve read a post saying that you could set newsgroups to a higher
level for them not to be included when checking for new messages. I
tried that, found that it didn´t work and learned that the levels are
also used to distinguish between unsubscribed and zomie groups. So I
decided to better not play with group levels until I know better what
I´m doing.

Unfortunately, I don´t know yet how to make a customized function like
that ... There´s so much to learn when you start using gnus that it´ll
take a while.
