You did it when pan wasn't running, correct? If you remove it out from under pan when it's running, yeah, it might trigger a crash, tho I'd have thought it'd simply screw up its read- status tracking. But if you delete it when pan's not running, it should work. Pan should either simply offer to download a new group list, or only let you use subscribed groups since it doesn't have a list, until you download a new one.
