the news is to be found, and from *where*.
Say you want to read news from you local, friendly nntp server
-"news.my.local.server".

(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.my.local.server"))
(The same for the other methods, kind of.)

This will put all mail from me in you junk mail group, and the rest in

These groups will be subscribe the same way as the normal groups, so
you will probably find them among the zombie groups after you set

Gnus really isn't GNUS, even though it looks like it. If you scrape
the surface, you'll find that most things have changed.

There is absolutely no chance, whatsoever, of getting Gnus to work

Create the group by saying
-`G V my.virtual.newsgroup<RET>nnvirtual<RET>^rec\.aquaria\.*<RET>'

This will create the group "nnvirtual:my.virtual.newsgroup", which
will collect all articles from all the groups in the "rec.aquaria"
