Me, too. Recently we have discussed this in gnu.emacs.help (see my posting
with the MID
<vita-brevis-breviter-in-brevi-finietur-mors-venit-velociter-quae-neminem-veretur-87659ip8vj.fsf@shodan.gothgoose.net>
and the thread around).
You can delete the complete code in your configuration and you only
have to add this single line
(gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-demon-scan-news 5 10)
to make Gnus check both mails and news.
Regards,
Marcus
