Incidentally: This whole problem is in part the premise of Google
Wave, in that it makes it easier to co-build threaded discussion over
time (which is itself co-editable into actual documents).

I am working now on a bot that can uniformly archive/sync and store
independently of Wave.

Might eventually be worth thinking about a future migration to either
Wave, or open source software such as wagn, or other tools that can do
both threaded and co-editable discussion (once developments allow for
alerting people in some useful way across networks about relevant
content, perhaps).
