yes, because you can have a number of unread (or whatever) articles in the
Topic line and this way, you can not have two (or more) completely
separated hierarchies. A real-world example can be this: imagine you are
storing all outgoing mail to the nnfolder files one per month, you would
like to see them all the time, articles there are unread and are counted as
such in the Topic in which you have them, this count is also in the top
level Topic. So you can have everything read and you still have these big
numbers in the top level Topic all the time. Or is it solvable for normal
users? I can create user-function and count only articles in the
non-archiving groups, but I'm trying to force Gnus usage for non-lispers
here.
