I am thinking of changing my local (non foreign) server, now when
they have it up and running here at school, it would be easy to just
change the select-method to nntp "new server", but the problem is that
the old server carries groups the new doesn't carry.
So I thought if you could convert the local server to foreign
group-entries, and then changing the select method, by this way I can
easily catch up on whats new on the new server, the groups that are
fed ok I just delete from the old server, and keep the ones missing.
Any comments?

p.s. BTW why do we distinguish between foreign and 'local' servers,
why not do all servers (groups) 'foreign'?

And why not
when gnus startup, I see
nntp: news.wsu.edu wsunews My main News server
nntp: news.ifcss.org ifcssnews A server for chinese news groups
nnml: private privatemail My mail groups
.. .. .....
.. .. .....
So when I choose the first entry, gnus will start nntp to get news from
`news.wsu.edu' according the `wsunews.eld' startup file. And when I choose
the third entry, it will just go get my newly arrived mail and open my
mail groups according the `privatemail.eld' startup file.
Right now I am using
(defun wsu ()
"Use `news.wsu.edu' as NNTP server for gnus."
(interactive)
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.wsu.edu" "119"))
(setq gnus-startup-file "~/gnus-startup/wsu")
(my-gnus-quick-start)
(gnus))
for each nntp server.

Well -- that would be nice, but it wouldn't be Gnus. Gnus was
specifically designed to make it easy to read messages from a variety
of sources simultaneously.
