It seems like a real difficult way to get a group that doesn't really do anything. A user that is new to Gnus isn't going to figure this out, and while I took a hiatus from Gnus I used gnus for several years and don't recall having to do anything this intensive to get a new group. I'm really not trying to be difficult on this, but it does seem more difficult than it should. Shane
