Yeah, I only did it with messages as I came across them (and if there were
pages and pages of whitespace). I don't keep a large inventory of messages
here, only about a year. If I needed to go way back for some reason Avon
seems to have the entire back cataloge on Agency.

I've done that a couple of times, sometimes it bites me in the ass: "Ok, how
did I install cryptlib again?", "What was that thing I installed via apt-get
to parse HTML files?", "I hoped I backed up my GPG key!", "Dammit, I forgot
to put ./ in front of mutil for all of my events!" - You know, the fun stuff!
Mc> Ah, the never ending toils of a SysOp, eh?
Just wait until you get too nostalgic and want to run two systems... :P
