Oh, well. If I remove my nnfolder server from gnus-secondary-select-methods (so that list is nil), then I get other problems. For example, when I start with g-s-s-m nil, gnus updates the marks on my nnfolder groups twice, and takes a lot longer to start up. (It does some other thing differently, and more slowly, too.)
