By pressing 'u' in the group buffer.

Gnus prefers to hide articles that doesn't seem to be
interesting. There's no difference between nntp groups and 'mail
groups'. You can use scoring in both. Score is a number you add to the
article to show its 'importance level'. If score is high article will be
bold. If it's low article will be marked as read automatically. If it's
too low then article will expire (will be hided at all).

You decide. As I've already written: if I've foreseen such a pile of
correspondence I would not reorganize it later.
