 I'm having trouble figuring out a way to have an activity stream update
 not be attached to a user. I need a group to be able to post to the stream
 as if it were a user. "the group xx posted an update..."

 I am updating the external blog plugin and Andy originally had the update
 post as a false user but that breaks deleting since you no longer can
 delete unless the activity update is attached to a  user_id.

 But more so, I have ideas for group plugins if a group can post as a user.
 Think Facebook fan pages and you get the idea.
