Well, you're not supposed to advice
`gnus-alter-articles-to-read-function', but instead set it to a function
that returns a new list of articles (based on the list that's passed
in).  And as far as I can tell from reading the code, the list returned
is the list of articles Gnus will fetch from the server (and then
display, depending on whether you have other filters in place).
