A little bit more about this "marks thing" ...

I think that *this* is the explanation.
Reading more in 'info' I see:
To turn caching on, set `gnus-use-cache' to `t'. By default, all
articles ticked or marked as dormant will then be copied over to
your local cache (`gnus-cache-directory').
Currently, "C-h v gnus-cache-directory" returns `passive', *not* `t'.
I have a hunch that I lost my prior setting of `gnus-use-cache' during
a reinstall of Debian some months ago. If I understand the above
correctly, my use of `!` *would* have provided the caching behavior
that I currently lack.
So maybe I wasn't *completely* wrong! ;-)
