Gnus' unpluggedness is quite different from what you get if you click
on the "go offline" button in Free Agent or other offline
newsreaders.  There "go offline" means "I now no longer have a
network connections, so just do everything locally".  In Gnus it
means "inhibit the servers that are covered by the Agent from opening
network connections".

Kevin's changes made Gnus behave more like one might expect, but it's
something that can be hashed out in No Gnus.
