See http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/f/223/ or http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/f/221/

... and likely other recently created newsgroups (?)


Could you guys please get rid of these posts? Something seems wrong in the creation script somehow..

Thanks!

I'm working on building a list of messages to remove, since using SELECT + DELETE is taking 8+ hours to clean a single group.

Ok I've cleaned up Orion,Lyo,Hudson,Rmf and Sisu.  On my list today are Vex,Koneki and Apricot.  However since my testing for those groups indicated that the clean up will take a few hours(not counting the consistency check) it won't be till later today that things should be finished.

I'm in the process of cleaning these up.  fudforum doesn't have an easy way to trash 30,000 posts, so I had to craft one.

I _think_ the underlying problem was fixed in April, but I'll do some testing to make sure.

These were all cleaned up.
