The guy was 20 when he wrote the now-in-retrospect mealy-mouthed and
profoundly unfunny manual.  Even I, someone who's repeatedly landed
himself in hot water ribald off-color remarks, can see his attempts at
levity and irreverence fall flat.

Gnus is, by current standards, largely shit software, so its manual is
oddly fitting.  I wouldn't worry about it.
