Yesterday I tried to sync my hundreds of RSS favorites in NetNewsWire that I had accumulated on two different machines via NewsGator itself -- I had done it via .Mac until my demo account expired -- and what happened is that a good portion of them were pulled out of their categories and left on the main root, uncategorized. My "web" and "politics" and "business" and "Apple" folders were empty, and all those feeds were now all mixed up. I don't know, maybe some were even lost.
