And just so everyone is aware of the scope of this, we're looking at
potentially over half of the node database being inactive old nodes
where the user is no longer interested or active. Now that's really a
lot of useless noise in a database that's meant to be helping users who
are actively interested.
This sort of data below really needs to be removed...
1136 JWF PCO POINT COOK interested 2637
1137 JWG PCO POINT COOK interested 2637
1138 JWH PCO POINT COOK interested 2637
1139 JWI PCO POINT COOK interested 2637
1140 JWJ PCO POINT COOK interested 2637
1141 JWK PCO POINT COOK interested 2637
1142 JWS Green1 CANTERBURY interested 2637
1143 JWT Green1 select suburb...interested 2637
1144 JWU Green2 SORRENTO interested 2637
1145 JWV FoxNET PORTARLINGTON testing 2637
1146 JWW FoxNET PORTARLINGTON testing 2637
1147 JWX FoxNET PORTARLINGTON testing 2637
