    But, I have noticed negative IDs appearing on ALL articles, even though the
    site originally generated it positive. It happened in one of the sci groups,
    I remember not which. And I know they SHOULDN'T be that way because I posted
    one of them myself.

This used to happen a few years ago.  There was a bug in the notes <-> news
interface (are you surprised?) that made this happen.  It was fixed long
ago, but maybe someone is running an old notes system.
