User uses
  e runs the command gnus-server-edit-server, which is an interactive
  compiled Lisp function in `gnus-srvr.el'.

  It is bound to e, <menu-bar> <Server> <Edit>.

  (gnus-server-edit-server SERVER)

  Edit the server on the current line.

User puts a ";" in front of
(nttp ...)
making
;(nttp ...)

User saves with C-c C-c.

User tries the command again, only to find the ";" is gone.

Thus he is back to:
;;; Editing the server.
;; Type `C-c C-c' after you've finished editing.

(nntp "news.datemas.de")

I.e., his attempt to comment out a server is thwarted.

Yes, there are no commands in server, and I don't see anything that
implies that there is?  Closing.

OK mention that it isn't real lisp, so comments wont work.
