In this case maybe not... hehe.

That doesn't seem to work.
Tried both these:
   news.west.cox.net
   nntp:news.west.cox.net)

In either case the result is that gnus doesn't know that server name.
(backtrace included)
In both cases the server name is taken directly from `server' buffer.

(add-hook 'gnus-read-newsrc-el-hook
           (lambda () 
             (gnus-server-deny-server "news.west.cox.net")))

From Messages buffer with both syntax:

  Reading /home/reader/.newsrc-enews.newsguy.com.eld...
  gnus-server-deny-server: No such server: news.west.cox.net
  Loading font-lock...done

  Reading /home/reader/.newsrc-enews.newsguy.com.eld...
  gnus-server-deny-server: No such server: nntp:news.west.cox.net
  Loading font-lock...done

Back trace

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "No such server: nntp:news.west.cox.net")
  signal(error ("No such server: nntp:news.west.cox.net"))
  error("No such server: %s" "nntp:news.west.cox.net")
  gnus-server-deny-server("nntp:news.west.cox.net")
