I read the 3dfx groups, and they seem to be treated differently from
other groups.  When I'm plugged, and I do a "g", the number of
articles in those groups remains reported as "*" (although other
groups get a number).  When I'm unplugged, "g" updates the article
count as I'd expect.

At work, I read the groups from 3dfx's news server, so I could believe
that something with that is different, but at home they're from the
same server as all the rest of the groups.  

Does anybody else see this, or do things work OK for everybody else,
and should I therefore investigate my ISP's server?
