It seems pretty robust; I've been using this method for handling multiple
servers for a while without problems. But perhaps I'm asking for trouble by
not using gnus the way the authors expect.
I also change gnus-select-method to deal with my isp's 6 synchronized news
servers when some of them are down or overloaded. Here I want articles
marked as read on one server to be marked on all the others, so I change
gnus-select-method after .newsrc-servername has been read. Amazingly I seem
to be able to mostly get away with doing this. I do get "wrong type
argument: processp, nil" errors when a server rejects a connection. Someday
I'll figure out how to use the elisp debugger and see where these come from.
