-Gnus stores marks (@pxref{Marking Articles}) for @acronym{NNTP}
-servers in marks files. A marks file records what marks you have set
-in a group and each file is specific to the corresponding server.
-Marks files are stored in @file{~/News/marks}
-(@code{nntp-marks-directory}) under a classic hierarchy resembling
-that of a news server, for example marks for the group
-@samp{gmane.discuss} on the news.gmane.org server will be stored in
-the file @file{~/News/marks/news.gmane.org/gmane/discuss/.marks}.
-
-Marks files are useful because you can copy the @file{~/News/marks}
-directory (using rsync, scp or whatever) to another Gnus installation,
-and it will realize what articles you have read and marked. The data
-in @file{~/News/marks} has priority over the same data in
-@file{~/.newsrc.eld}.
-
-Note that marks files are very much server-specific: Gnus remembers
-the article numbers so if you don't use the same servers on both
-installations things are most likely to break (most @acronym{NNTP}
-servers do not use the same article numbers as any other server).
-However, if you use servers A, B, C on one installation and servers A,
-D, E on the other, you can sync the marks files for A and then you'll
-get synchronization for that server between the two installations.
-
-Using @acronym{NNTP} marks can possibly incur a performance penalty so
-if Gnus feels sluggish, try setting the @code{nntp-marks-is-evil}
-variable to @code{t}. Marks will then be stored in @file{~/.newsrc.eld}.
