I've no problems leaving the destination unlocked, as long as no one tries to restart a thread that's going to be moved.
I'll drop Brent an email tonight about doing the diffs. Technically, I suppose I could do them myself, as I have access to the scraper (he put it up on Github), but that would just add to the time it takes to get everything moved over; if he's willing to do them in parallel with me that might save some time. Plus I need to ask him if his HTML conversion is part of the scraper or separate. And if it doesn't have the ability to scrape only those messages after a given date/time, I think I'd rather ask him to make that change instead of puzzling through a program written in a language I've never used (Python) to try to find the right place to do it.-- Bob
