+<b>Q:</b> What is the difference between NOFFLE and leafnode?
+<p>
+<b>A:</b> NOFFLE uses less resources (disk space and bandwidth). Downloading
+groups in overview mode is several times faster, because it uses the XOVER
+command instead of HEAD. In addition, there is the quasi-transparent mode,
+when online, which allows to browse through groups and cache everything
+without subscribing.

+
+<b>Q:</b> I subscribe to groups, but get a "Retreiving failed"
+message for every requested article.
+<p>
+<b>A:</b> Some news server do not allow retrieving articles by message-ID.
+You cannot use NOFFLE together with these servers presently.
+
+<p>
+<hr>
+<p>
+
+<b>Q:</b> I changed the server in the config files, but the
+new groups do not appear.
+<p>
+<b>A:</b> You should run <code>noffle --query groups</code> again. If you
+want all old group information deleted, you should remove the file
+data/groupinfo.gdbm in the spool directory before.
+
+<p>
+<hr>
+<p>
+
+<b>Q:</b> The Emacs news reader GNUS hangs while getting active list
+from server.
+<p>
+<b>A:</b> This is a known phenomena and I believe that it is a bug with
+GNUS, because the log files show correct handling of client commands by
+noffle.
