I've tried to make changes to the virtual groups in the *Server*
buffer, and I'm blocked because virtual groups are seen as "read-only"
servers. I cannot kill a group (how do you remove one?), and cannot
edit a virtual group either.
So I have resorted to editing the *.newsrc.eld file.
I've been burnt with this approach. After simplifying some of the
"nnvirtual" regular expressions so that many groups with a common
string are matched, e.g.
{nnvirtual:^$\|\(^alt\.usenet$\)\|\(^alt\.culture\.usenet$\)}
becomes:
{nnvirtual:^$\|usenet}
I get strange results, like gnus never finding new messages.

You kill groups with `C-k'.
