Same here.  A long time ago, someone posted that they didn't know
where to get started using gnus and I think Jason Rumney(sp?) posted
something along the lines of "do this, this and this and you're
good".Worked for me and promptly forgot what my fears were(to help
others and take more notes)

I can't find the post by Jason too now.  Pretty sure was either here
or help-Emacs-Windows list. or gnu.Emacs.help
