At first, when I was saving each post manually, I skipped most of the "contentless" messages, e.g. simple thank yous, requests for copies, off-topic posts, etc. In addition, I occasionally lost some posts because I didn't always have enough time to save them before they were purged (the old forum retained only the most recent 2000 posts.) A couple of years later, I automated the download process and from then on, all posts were saved.

Yes, we did have one or two profoundly psychotic individuals on the old board. I skipped some of their most repetitive and pointless rantings, but many of them were retained for your amusement.
Regards,
