You know I got hit once by a bouncing spam that sent me around 1250
copies of itself. I really don't think you have any idea of what you are
asking for. The download time (and purge time of said messages) took
forever. Let me guess, you have one of those jobs where you can get paid
to sit around and read which is a very unrealistic expectation to hold
for other people.
In today's day and age we already have an information overload.
There is just too much information out there to digest. If we had that
many posts here I would find the list useless. Just sorting through the
subjects is time consuming and many useful posts would never be found as
they would be lost in the sea of posts.

Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.
History repeats itself.
Welcome to the Digital Age.
