        I can understand why that is annoying!  :)

        Don't worry, you speak as well as I do.  ;)

        You didn't mention which version of Pan you're using, so I'll assume 
version 0.14.0, which is current.  From the "Edit" menu, Preferences 
should bring up a box with various tabs in it.  The first tab, 
"Behavior", contains options under "Automatic Downloads" that control 
whether Pan should get new headers when it starts up.  I think No. 2, 
"Download new headers from subscribed groups when starting Pan", is the 
default, but turning it off (and #3, too) should make things better.

        I hope this helps you.  :)
