How to add gnu.emacs.gnus

Hi all,
Can someone tell me exactly how to subscribe to this newsgroup using
gnus ? I am a beginner and have tried and failed several times.

As explained  in the  Texinfo documentation that  comes with
Gnus (gnus.gz file on my Slackware Linux installation), node
"Subscription Commands", you  can enter the "*Group*" buffer
by typing  "M-x gnus RET"  in Emacs and  then do hit  "S s":
Gnus  will ask  for the  name of  the newsgroup,  you answer
"gnu.emacs.gnus"   and   that   is   it.    But   read   the
documentation!

411 group did exist but has been deleted
gnus-select-newsgroup: Couldn't activate group gnu.emacs.gnus: 411

Your news server has removed the group for whatever reason.  You'll need
to either ask them to put it back or get yourself a better news server.

After some work, I was able to figure things out. I am now using
news.cca.usart.ru as my news server, but still I am not able to read
posts of this particular group. Thanks anyway.

Add news.gmane.org as a secondary server, there this group is available
as gmane.emacs.gnus.user.

Have you ever considered how much text can fit in eighty columns?  Given that a
signature typically contains up to four lines of text, this space allows you to
attach a tremendous amount of valuable information to your messages.  Seize the
opportunity and don't waste your signature on bullshit that nobody cares about.
