At present, I think i'll use 2 months as the test - To only go back 2
months to determine moderators...

- Also, Depending on hoiw many messages go through the system (space),
I'll limit it to 50 groups, and 3-4 months of archives - Although i'll
have to wait & see how it goes - when I get 50 'active' groups...
