The old ones (named Yeah, "total fails" like this are commonplace. It's what happens when your mail reader is the culmination of thirty years of cruft. The "wut?" of adding a secondary "select methods" variable instead of vectorizing the first is what you did as a 22-yo in the 1990s. To this day I've only a vague idea of what a "select method" is, and I probably spent more time rewriting gnus than anyone here. Gnus's persistence model is and was 1990s flat files. We didn't think too hard at that time. If something went wrong, we just went into our .newsrc.eld, intuited its layout, deleted the offending entries, and restarted. I'd advise the same in 2023.
