The documentation says:

,----[ gnus/lisp/nnnil.el ]
| It's useful as a primary select method when you want all your real
| select methods to be secondary or foreign.
`----

At times I've sometimes found it aesthetically unpleasing that one
server is treated different than others (naming-wise, for instance),
but I admit that I never exerted any effort in obtaining a deep
understanding of the issues involved.


  Best regards,
