Well.. He has had this particular moment for quite a while.. However
he _is_ away now. Does somebody with CVS access feel naughty?

We seem to interpret the docstring in different ways:

===
If this variable is `current', Gnus will use the "current" select
method when posting.  If it is nil (which is the default), Gnus will
use the native posting method of the server.
===

I read this

current == Current primary select method.
nil = native method of the server BELONGING TO THIS GROUP

i.e. the inverse of what it does now.

P.S. I am not sure any more exactly how my patch went (I could have
used the 'native' keyword). But it did do the 'right' thing by
default.
