I'm extracting an archive of the messages now, all 160,472 of them. The
script is running at roughly ~900 messages/minute, so I'm hoping it'll
be done in around 3 hours.
Once I have all of the messages in hand, if everyone wants to give
groups.io moderator privileges to the group, I'll be happy to do that.
