I will lose my recent tick marks That did indeed happen. All tick marks made by me since Thursday, lost. > 2. I will again be unable to save because of the "wrong-type-argument > number-or-marker-p" issue That did not happen. But this time I answered "n" to all requests for adding topics or groups. I think the last time I answered "y" to them (just to get them out of the way). So... I can either restore the .newsrc.eld with the right tick marks, or re-read them now that I can save them. Going for the latter, I think.
