Yes, we are. I'm talking about the name of the parent
menu-point. (Gnus->Mark Limit) I really don't see the connection between
"Mark Limit" and "Show me only articles, where
[from|score|subject|date|...] is ..."

In fact I don't really understand what "Mark Limit" does mean after
all. (But the reason for this might be my poor English.)

Nevertheless if it was called "filter articles" or something similar I
think it would be clearer what the entries under this node do.
