You don't mention what version of Emacs, BBDB, or GNUS you're using, but
if it's FSF GNU Emacs 19 you *really* should be using (add-hook) here,
*not* (setq), to set these hooks.
It's possible that you're resetting gnus-Startup-hook later on and
overwriting the insinuate-gnus call.
jn> what is suppose to happen when i start gnus?
Nothing; but when you see your summary buffer you should have "*" next
to the articles posted by people who are in your database, and when you
read an article by them you should get a little BBDB window containing
info on the author.
