Gnus v5.8.3

GNU Emacs 20.4.2 (alphaev5-dec-osf4.0f, X toolkit) of Mon Oct 11 1999
on hilbert1


I would like gnus to do the following: when getting new news between
say 10:00 in the morning and 5:00 in the afternoon, I don't want gnus
to check slashdot.  So I guess I want the entry 

  '(nnslashdot "")

in gnus-secondary-select-methods to be time-dependent.  As an
alternative, I wouldn't mind if gnus only checked nnslashdot once a
day.  I want the same to happen with one of my mail sources (a pop
server that is down a lot and that I don't get a lot of mail from, so
I would be happy to just check it once a day).

Has anyone done anything like this already?
