I think we need to at least make it clear that you can't create these
groups with "G m", which to me anyway is the "normal" way of making a
group. It wouldn't hurt to be more explicit about the fact that feeds
are created at the server level, not the group level. I'm not suggesting
anything radical, something like:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
The ‘nnatom’ back end allows you to add HTTP or local Atom feeds as Gnus
servers, in your Gnus init files or as foreign servers via "B" in the
*Group* buffer. The feed location is supplied as the server address, and
each server only contains a single group. Note, however, that the server
address shouldn't be prefixed with <http://> or <https://>.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Or something like that. WDYT?
