The read marks and groups of the nntp groups disappeared again, even
after I had removed all of the gnus cloud stuff.

I have now removed these gnus-demon settings (from May 26 2003):

;; Automatically fetch news and mail every 15 minutes when idle
(defun sb-gnus-demon-scan-imap ()
  (let ((win (current-window-configuration)))
    (unwind-protect
	(save-window-excursion
	  (save-excursion
	    (when (gnus-alive-p)
	      (save-excursion
		(set-buffer gnus-group-buffer)
		(gnus-group-get-new-news 2)))))
      (set-window-configuration win))))

(gnus-demon-add-handler 'sb-gnus-demon-scan-imap 15 t)
(gnus-demon-add-rescan)

Looks like I had my own demon scan function and that I have had it for
just over 20 years.

(I have emacs config that dates back to the 80-ies, but only version
control history for that config that goes back to 2001 or thereabouts)
