Game Mechanics: group chat while not in group

[Divarin]

I ported a group of 4 to steamfont, then disbanded and gated back to ec. a few minutes later I started seeing their group chat.

I tried to respond and it said "you are not in a group. talking to yourself again?"

then when I zoned again, the eavesdropping stopped.

this happened around 10pm PST on 9/18/10 if you want to look into the logs
my character's name is Figwin, the group I ported consisted of: Jython, Denizen, Arkiz, and Zhanshi
