Right:

,----[ C-h v gnus-default-adaptive-score-alist RET ]
| gnus-default-adaptive-score-alist's value is 
| ((gnus-expirable-mark
|   (subject -108))
|  (gnus-killed-mark

|  (gnus-catchup-mark

I would not say it's dangerous.  Adaptive scoring on other marks just
happens not to match _my_ usage pattern.  Other people seem to be
happy with the default settings (see below), other find adaptive
scoring completely annoying and turn if off (which is the default).

The default `gnus-default-adaptive-score-alist' is:

  '((gnus-kill-file-mark)
    (gnus-unread-mark)
    (gnus-read-mark (from 3) (subject 30))
    (gnus-catchup-mark (subject -10))
    (gnus-killed-mark (from -1) (subject -20))
    (gnus-del-mark (from -2) (subject -15)))

Bye, Reiner.
