I don't know ... group levels always confuse me.  Hmm, at least the
manual acknowledges that it can be a little tricky:

   If you want to play with the level variables, you should show some
   care.  Set them once, and don't touch them ever again.  Better yet,
   don't touch them at all unless you know exactly what you're doing.

:-)

Maybe you can get the effect you want by invoking `gnus-no-server'
with a prefix argument.
