Topics screwed up ! How do I reset ?

Topics screwed up ! How do I reset ?

[Arne Elofsson]

Hi

I am still using september gnus.

When I un n topics mode everything is screwed up. I have several
copies of some news groups, when I do j newsgroup this ends up
somewhere else. It is just chaos.

My questions are
1) How do I start with a clean topics.
2) Has this problem been fixed in later versions.
3) How do I avoid this. (I think it might be because I moved groups
around alot.)

thanxs

This has been fixed in Red Gnus now, I think.

Uhm...  Try editing the .newsrc.eld file to remove all the topic
stuff.

Yes.

Me too!

Seriously, I have groups in multiple topics, and would like to just
trash everything and start from scratch.

Is this as simple as quitting gnus, deleting `gnus-topic-alist' and
`gnus-topic-topology' from .newsrc.eld, quitting emacs, and restarting?

Please tell me "yes".

ps. Does anyone remember the names of the anarchist associations in
    Ursella K. LeGuin's novel "The Dispossessed"?  I think that may be a
    good name for the development team.

"Yes."

There should probably be a command to do this for you.  I've now added
this to the todo list.
