### 9.2 Interactive

`gnus-novice-user`

  If this variable is non-`nil`, you are either a newcomer to the World of Usenet, or you are very cautious, which is a nice thing to be, really. You will be given questions of the type “Are you sure you want to do this?” before doing anything dangerous. This is `t` by default.

`gnus-expert-user`

  If this variable is non-`nil`, you will seldom be asked any questions by Gnus. It will simply assume you know what you’re doing, no matter how strange. For example, quitting Gnus, exiting a group without an update, catching up with a group, deleting expired articles, and replying by mail to a news message will not require confirmation.

`gnus-interactive-catchup`

  Require confirmation before catching up a group if non-`nil`. It is `t` by default.

`gnus-interactive-exit`

  If non-`nil`, require a confirmation when exiting Gnus. If `quiet`, update any active summary buffers automatically without querying. The default value is `t`.
