Unfortunately, taking out a murder contract on your newsadmin is
probably still illegal.
Maybe Gnus should help you along, but really, the situation you're up
against is effectively one of stepping up to a brand new server for
the first time, with no correlating history against previous activity.
Treat it like a new server, 'cuz that's what it is. I don't know what
you think Gnus should be able to do, other than perhaps auto-resetting
art#s to reflect the server's aborted state.
