Hey Tom. 

I pinged the Forum Powers That Be™ to see about permissions for you.

Difficulty of getting the messages out was what led me to wonder if someone had 
an MBOX somewhere with the whole thing in… (But I didn’t try anything.) 

I suspect if we were to map the top 50-100 posters we’d more than cover the 
lion’s share of the history, mapping messages to authors.

If you’re keen to try a PoC, that would be amazing. 
Thanks. 
C.
