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
