After I moved it, I'm back in Pan! :)  I'm not moving them back because 
there were over 700.
     It seems some/many were on news.sdf.org, which I no longer have 
access to, but Pan has a design problem that it didn't save which server 
you joined for each group.
     Is there any way I can get rid of all those old groups?
     I read/post on Eternal September (or alternative AIOE,) Gmane, but 
almost every time I try to post on Gmane, it says the group isn't on 
that server because it defaults to Eternal September.
     So, there really needs to be a new feature that Pan saves the 
information, for each group, of which server you joined it on.
     I was also unable to reply in Pan because, even after a changed to 
Gmane in 'From' it still said Gmane doesn't have this newsgroup anymore 
(said same about all Gmane groups I tried recently.)
