Gnus unplugged is, uh, plugged?

[Norman Walsh]

This has bothered me for a while. Must be me. Running Gnus 5.8.8, with
(gnus-agentize) in my .gnus file, if I run 'gnus-unplugged' it still
tries to connect to external servers.

As long as I only have one external server, this is sortof ok since it
times out and then finishes. But if I have two or more servers, the
second one hangs forever and C-g aborts the whole startup process.

Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

                                        Be seeing you,

You have to turn each server into an agent controlled one.  In the
*Group* buffer, hit '^'.  Then you have to hit 'J a' on every server
you don't want an open connection with when its unplugged.

Counter-intuitive, somewhat, I know.  Unplugged should me "I don't
have the stupid cable plugged in so I *can't* get to that server".
