The following are several things I'm puzzling over after returning to
news.answers moderation after several years' absence at time when no
other moderators appear to be active.

Last update: Mon 26 April 2010.

lock-log:
This file has been building up since 2000 every time someone locks
something; as of Mon 26 April 2010 it is nearly 46Mb and 353k lines
long.  Seems to me it needs to be trimmed, maybe to just the most
recent month or two of entries; in fact I decided to cut back to NGB's
last junking of stuff on Feb 12, which reduced it to 31 lines.  Now we
need to document a policy in either the guide or the moderation FAQ.

najunk:
There's not enough documentation on how this works; I presume the
assumption is that everyone is a Perl expert and can just read the
code.  I need to be able to call najunk with a list of message numbers
of spam (in fact I have personal scripts to create such things).
najunk will give me a long list with 'scan' headers for all the
messages I listed, and ask me which ones to delete.  I *think* that
replying "all" will delete just the things listed -- nothing else
makes much sense -- but there's nothing that tells me that's the right
thing to do.

save-faq:
Early in the guide there's a mention of this program being in
/usr/spool/FAQ_archiver but /usr/spool appears no longer to
exist. It's really in ppdir/src like it says later in the guide.
