1) only on a good day

2) This is because frost has nothing more than public boards. If FMB
didn't do bundling, you'd never be able to retrieve a message from user
X on day N, without specifically listening to user X's channel for day
N. That would be horrible, especially if you're away for a few days.
And it would be a waste of a lot of requests for things that aren't
there. (_now_ we're starting to sound like frost :)
