Thanks, Johan. That looks like some light, entertaining reading. ;-)

To Don, the first sentence of the info doc is:

"All them variables, they make my head swim." There is an inevitable
tension between ease of use and powerful functionality in any software or
indeed in any tool. If the developers had decided to make emacs and gnus
an easily configurable black box then no one would be interested in it.
Remember "....  Now, patience; and remember patience is the great thing,
and above all things else we must avoid anything like being or becoming
out of patience...."
