bug#25686: 25.1; gnus always checks the news

[rahuljuliato]

I'm trying to avoid gnus to check news on rss feed and imaps.
I want it just to open, read my offline stuff and if I need to
check stuff, press g.

Everywhere I ask people gives me the same awnser:

(setq gnus-check-new-newsgroups nil)
(setq gnus-check-bogus-newsgroups nil)

This are already in my .emacs (tried also on .gnus) file and M-x gnus
keeps checking the news when loading.

I'd like some help on finding out if this is a bug or I'm doing
something else wrong.


Thanks
