Yes, the example explains this: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (setq gnus-refer-article-method '(current (nnregistry) (nnweb "gmane" (nnweb-type gmane)))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- > LC> 2. it /appends/ ‘nnregistry’ to ‘gnus-refer-article-method’, whereas > LC> it’s likely to perform better if it appears right after ‘current’. >>> >>> For the vast majority of Gnus users the two are the same. > > LC> It depends.
