Point taken, but that's an issue of backup. There
are lots of
ways to skin that cat. Export to ASCII if you like, and send
a backup copy of every message to another server. Via email if
you like.
Or, conversely, some interested party could take the time and effort
to develop a web interface to the pre-existing setup. Either way it's
a question of who bears the time cost of altering what we now have. I
lean toward the one that doesn't ask Jay to contribute more than he
already has.
