Re: Annoying issue with group not showing new messages

All good, sir, although I often wonder how non-lispers find their way to gnus,
that most ornery of mail user agents, when so many less break-prone and
befuddling systems exist.  One might hypothesize that such users were
"grandfathered-in" from the 90s when far fewer choices existed (and
browser-based services like gmail had yet to invade the public consciousness).

Still, even in the 90s, gnus would have to be considered a highly niche
offering with respect to mailx, pine, elm, or even emacs-based RMAIL.  I only
took to gnus more recently because up until two years ago, I hardly knew any
elisp and imo, a green belt in elisp is required to achieve a usable gnus setup.
