- My point was that when you kill newsgroups now, they are put into a kill
- buffer. I don't know specifically what you (kpc) want, but others seem to
- think that they should stay in the *Newsgroups* buffer, so they can always see
- all the newsgroups. This defeats the purpose of using kill to move them
- around (by killing them, moving the point, and yanking them back).
-
- It seems that what people want is to have them in the *Newsgroups* buffer,
- but not do any processing of them in order to speed things up. Right now,
- when they are in the kill buffer, gnus doesn't do anything with them, so it
- is faster than just unsubscribing them.
-
- My suggestion was rather than breaking the kill/yank process which allows the
- newsgroups to be moved around, there should simply be a form of heavy-duty
- unsubscribe that would leave them in the *Newsgroups* buffer, but completely
- ignore them otherwise.
