When is `unplugged' not really `unplugged'
I must not really understand what plugged and unplugged really mean.
For example I can go unplugged in group buffer.
Then enter a group (gmane.comp.version-control.git.user) with the
command
C-u 12000 <ENTER>
When the group opens I actually have 11383 messages and I can open and
read any of them.
However in
/News/agent/nntp/news.gmane.org/gmane/comp/version-control/git/user
I only have 6049 messages on disk
ls
~/News/agent/nntp/news.gmane.org/gmane/comp/\
version-control/git/user|wc -l
6049
So how is it that while unplugged, I can open thousands of messages I
do not have on disc? That is confusing.
