I think "backend" is a locally (to gnus) defined term. It means
something different than the generic "back end" description
I don't think we should change everything away from "backend" to "back
end" just so that a spelling checker runs cleanly on the document with
only "gnus" added to the personal dictionary.
IMHO,
Wes
