Sorry for the confusion. I didn't mean to suggest that I had tried (setq
gnus-select-method nil).

That was just my guess about what might work. I wanted to check that
Gnus doesn't explode or anything when it doesn't have a "primary" select
method before I tried it.

[Section 1.5 (info "(gnus) Changing Servers") of the manual makes me
very anxious about making changes to my Gnus server configuration. I
didn't want to break everything else that was working fine!]

Regards,
N.
