Note gnus-no-server is a temporary (one-time) solution - Gnus won't
check the primary server just this once, while the nnnil backend is a
permanent solution.  They are both valid, but do very different things
:)

Also, IMO, it's best if everything is secondary, because then you
don't have to worry about fully qualified group names - everything is
fully qualified.  Some people may prefer shorter group names, of course.
