If so, move it to gnus-secondary-select-methods and try again. FYI, many users including me like to set gnus-select-method to nnnil and put everything in secondary select methods. Even I wanna suggest remove gnus-select-method and change gnus-secondary-select-methods to gnus-select-methods and make nnnil the default. This may avoid some mistakes and documentation can be a little shorter.
