My ISP recently switched newsfeeds in a big way.  Since then, I've
gotten no new news via Gnus in any newsgroup except one (wow -- say
that 10x fast!).  I suspect it's because the new news server's
articles have a smaller article # than my old one did, so gnus thinks
I've read the articles already.  Short of editing .newsrc.eld, is
there anything I can do to "reset" this?  Or do I have a totally
different problem?  Thanks!

An email reply is appreciated, as, well, I don't see any new articles
in Gnus :)  I will be checking via Google, though.  Thanks!!

Silly me, didn't look hard enough in the Info file.  OK, so this has
exactly what I want, except I don't understand one part:

Does move in this sense mean to literally move the files someplace
else (i.e. $ mv xxx yyy)?  How would I access them still?  What
happens if I don't?  Thanks much!
