Say a NG has 5000 articles.
When you press SPC on it, you are prompted to input articles to read.

1. If you input "10abcd", 10 articles will be displayed as does by
(setq select (if (stringp select) (string-to-number select) select))

2. If you input "10.11", you get error message, and no articles
   displayed.

The code 

(setq select (if (floatp select) (round select) select))

can solve this.

I think since case 1 is addressed in Gnus for error tolerance and
user-friendliness, why not going a little further?
