I note that when I post an item to the news it comes to our site
immediately.  Sometime later I get a message from the site from which we
get our newsfeed indicating the item has been posted.  However, I still
have the uncomfortable feeling--since I have seen no responses to my
items, that somehow they have not made it out into the real world.  Is there
any way to find this out?  It's my understanding that the way news works
is that when the item I have posted arrives here from outside, the news
program will say "oh, I already know that" and not re-post it here.
What I'd like is some way for me to find out when this happens.
