Well, there's still a lot of people using the number scheme, so I don't
think we can just ignore the renumbering issue. However, I think it's
reasonable to say that we can just ignore it for very recent messages
(and I don't think we're going to attempt to delete pornographic
messages posted months ago -- if anything of the sort happens, action is
going to be taken pretty hastily).
