Indeed it is, and yes there was.  I had this

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      '((nnml ""))) 

-------        ---------       ---=---       ---------      -------- 
 *BELOWS* this:

  (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnimap "hputnam3"
                        (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
                        (nnimap-server-port 993)
                        (nnimap-stream ssl))) 

-------        ---------       ---=---       ---------      -------- 

So of course the list got smushed by a full scale declaration of what
the secondary-select-method was instead of being added to.

Nice catch... thank you both very much

It's working nice and smooth now.

I still have another problem that has been bugging me for days.  I'm
trying to catch a backtrace with (setq debug-on-quit t)

When I get a nice one I'll start a new thread.
