I've been having some really weird problems with gnus these last few
days; there have been three things that are bugging me.

1 - It won't let me remove some newsgroups from my newsgroup list. I
use C-k in the *Newsgroups* buffer and it seems to work fine, but the
next time Iun gnus those damn groups are back again. Not all groups,
just about 15 or so, always the same groups (alt.adoption is one of
them, for example).

2 - Used to be that when I was reading articles, with the *Subject*
buffer in the top window and the articles appearing in the bottome
window, if I hit c it would ask "are you sure you want to mark
everything as read (y or n)" (or something similar), I would hit y and
it would send me back to the *Newsgroups* buffer. Now when I do that
it will go to the next newsgroup, fetch those articles and I'll never
go back to the newsgroups buffer.

3 - When manuvering around the articles it now will follow a thread
and then pop back up to the first unread message in the group, if I
just keep hitting the space bar. It used to just move down the list in
order and I could skip articles I didn't want to read. Now if I do
that it runs back up there when I'm not paying attention and makes me
read them too! I used to have to follow threads with C-M-n.

I have been making a lot of changes to various emacs things, but not
to gnus. I've looked at the manual and nothing is leaping out at me.
Any help?
