I think your proposal misses the point. The primary reason we are in this
situation is a lack of funds, not a lack of willingness to put up with
headaches.

I'm not even sure the situation would be improved overall. The transition is not
free. Someone has to install and maintain the new software. The bandwidth
requirements increase. Comparing message indexes of the two boards, the
bandwidth requirements increase 2x. Comparing messages of approximately equal
length of content, the bandwidth requirement increases 20x.
