It was not intended that way, I was trying to express what I
understood.

    Björn> Yes that is essentially what I'm trying to say but I want to highlight

    Björn>      any servers or groups define the dummy function so Gnus-registry

    Björn> Did you read the first sentence? Maybe it should have been:

    Björn>      Add function for gnus-check-group-server function.  nnregistry doesn't handle
    Björn>      any servers or groups define the dummy function so Gnus-registry
    Björn>      works as refer article method.

My difficulty is because this bit: "nnregistry doesn't handle any
servers or groups" runs into this bit: "define the dummy function so
Gnus-registry works as refer article method" without any intervening
junction phrase like "so we must" or similar.
