	What in the world does "REJECT (looping item)" really mean when adding 
an article to NEWS?  I suspect that because I have two sites feeding me NEWS 
that it really means that the article has already been posted and this is a 
duplicate.  I tried to track down where this message came from.  I found it in 
NEWSADD.C.  Two possibilities exist.  A return code of 'b00184ec' and 'b0010001'
would do it.  I changed 'b00184ec' to return 'Duplicate MsgID' and tried it 
again.  I still get 'looping item'.  The RMS code 184ec means duplicate record.
What really does this mean and can the message be changed to something more 
meaningful?  Thanks.
