Oh... I have another question.

Some of the groups I mirror have this one single harassing user who posts something like 20-50 messages a day. I'd like to somehow filter out his messages. I feel that it could make these groups usable again.

I tried pruning by username. Nothing came up... so I then added his various user names as different users on my system. THEN I could prune by username. What then happened was half good. In prune by username, threads he started showed up, but no posts.

Any idea how to filter out the bad seeds? The hacky idea I have above would work if only imported posts, not just threads, could somehow be attached to a username. I know vb.org accomplished this somehow. They grabbed the hacks forums from vbulletin.com, then when people registered here, it would attach their user name to the name they used on their old messages, and whala... full vb user based functions could be applied to old messages.
