Can anyone give good reasons for the existance of the article id locking
and unlocking routines in inews? I've looked through and I can't really see
any purpose to locking them and they seem to have a fair amount of overhead
involved. I believe some sites have removed them and not seen any problems
(apollo, was that you?) Can anyone out there remember why they were there
in the first place?
