That looks like some light, entertaining reading. ;-) To Don, the first sentence of the info doc is: "All them variables, they make my head swim."

If the developers had decided to make emacs and gnus an easily configurable black box then no one would be interested in it. Remember ".... Now, patience; and remember patience is the great thing, and above all things else we must avoid anything like being or becoming out of patience...." Ed.
