How's your bandwidth? Care to FTP me 70 MB? I can deal with the directory structure.
I'm still fighting with Red Hat. The CDs are supposed to be bootable, but apparently not on *this* machine. If you want to play with the messages in MySQL, ftp them to me (the new machine, when it's up) and I'll get them into MySQL. If you like what you find, then you can decide if you want to do the same thing locally. If so, I'll help, possibly in far more interesting ways that you might imagine. I've been giving a lot of consideration to how a P2P discussion archiving/analysis system might work.
