Right, it would also have been quite impressive if it was possible :-)

I've just looked (briefly) at the .newsrc-dribble file, and it looks
like it is full of what one could hope is idempotent commands.

If that is the case, would it then be possible for me to transfer my
activity at home to Gnus at work by appending my dribble file from
home to the one at work?

Or if appending is not good enough, then one might even be able to
merge the two files so that (seen (100 . 200)) and (seen (50 . 150))
would be merged to (seen (50 . 200)).

That would of course assume that I have named my servers the same in
both places, but that is no problem.
