In (info "(gnus) Read Articles") one reads about
‘O’
Articles that were marked as read in previous sessions and are now
“old” (‘gnus-ancient-mark’).
Well you need to say more:
* How do discover if one has "old/ancient" articles.
(Say tip: Use 99999 RET to enter a (e.g., nnml) group, instead of just RET.)
* What "old/ancient" articles are.
* How to prevent them from accruing.

The section about entering groups says that.

That's what that says: Articles marked as read in previous sessions.
> * How to prevent them from accruing.
There's no way.

LI> There's no way.
Do mention that.
But wait, today 99999 RET doesn't show any here in my nnml group.

I don't think that seems useful in the context of that variable.
