I created this Manual Insertion hack that integrates into the vB admin control panel. This hack will let you select messages that are in the que to be inserted but don't have references matching any of the existing messages and are therefore stuck in the usenet_article table. Once selecting the messages, you can do the following:

• Delete
• Start a new thread
• Merge selected messages together into one thread
• Insert post(s) into existing thread

All actions, except delete, take effect once the newnews.pl script is executed.

The installation is pretty simple, there is one SQL query that needs to be run and then two additions to to the usenet.php file. If you have any questions or find a bug, please feel free to ask.

fastforward, feel free to include this in the Usenet Gateway hack distribution or do anything else you want to with it.
