Hm... I was already running Gnus, and did the add-hook thingies in the
*scratch* buffer.  nntp-send-mode-reader was in the hook already

I've tried both
	(add-hook 'nntp-server-opened-hook 'nntp-send-nosy-authinfo)
which puts nntp-send-nosy-authinfo first, and
	(add-hook 'nntp-server-opened-hook 'nntp-send-nosy-authinfo t)
which puts it at the end (and yes,... with a remove-hook in between).

Currently I have 
	nntp-server-opened-hook's value is (nntp-send-mode-reader nntp-send-nosy-authinfo)
and the behaviour is still flaky.  Ie. it doesn't work right now.  If
it starts working later on, I'll tell ya.
