I think the reason you may not be seeing many responses to this issue
is that it appears to require a combination of a specific gnus version
and a news server using some specific software or configuration.
Essentially, only a few people are seeing this issue. 

As I reported earlier, I had this problem after my ISP changed their
news server software - I think they moved to dnes, but I'm not sure on
that. I got around the problem by using M-g when I wanted to check for
new news in a group. 

However, a few weeks ago, without me changing anything on my system,
the problem seems to have gone away. I don't know if my ISP changed
softwre or changed configuration - all I know is the problem is no
longer a problem for me.
