When configuring gnus for the first time, one can end up adding methods,
splitters, to lists.  Because these lists are added to instead of overwritten in
some cases.  It can be help full to just restart emacs instead of trying to
unlink symbols.  I can't give you specific examples.  But I can assure you that
this is the case.  Oh, one example I can give is if you setq specific options
with imap, and then delete these setqs the options are still set for that
session of emacs.
