That's awesome, it works! I wasn't even considering this option, but it
makes perfect sense.
How about adding this to the documentation?

Be aware, though, that this will make entering an @acronym{NNTP} group
much, much slower, so this is not recommended.

I must have gotten myself into an undefined state last night, can't
reproduce.
Thank you for your help! Learned a lot about how virtual groups work in
the process of trying to get this to work :)
