So, my next question is simply: is this situation safe ? Err,
from where Gnus fetch the article then ? (cache ?, agent ?,
randomly ?).

No problem with how this was done ;) just a question. Do you
think caching adn agentizing in the same time, a recommended/safe
practice ? Oh, and given the fact I am caching ticked/dormant and
even unread articles, can I safely enable agent expiration on my
groups ? If I understand correctly, caching prevent me from a
server expiration and adjusting in this case 2 or 3 more
variables I can still keep a copy of some articles locally (no
expiration can apply).
Thanx.
