Is iStar your only feed? And, if there really are articles in those groups, are they cross-posted to other less flagrantly named groups? iStar could be passing articles in those groups through to you without the groups existing (via the junk group, or crossposting), or the articles being visible to their users. They may not even have noticed. -- Chris Lewis: _Una confibula non sat est_
