We hereby challenge all, mortals and immortals alike, to do this
simple thing which will probably help speed messaging, if not
overall Achaea, very nicely:

Use MSG DELETE DECAYS (and then MSG DELETE DECAYS CONFIRM)!

Yes, there's a new way to delete all system messages (at least,
those sent after the new messaging system went in) that tell
you about things decaying, favours ending, grace being removed,
and runes fading. It's simple. It's fast. It's painless!

Many of you are careful with your messages. And a few have
gotten a bit behind. A few have over TEN THOUSAND messages,
which really can slow the messaging system, and backups, down.

Anyhow, we estimate that well over one hundred thousand messages
are this sort of decay/favour end/etc sort of message.

If you are up to the challenge, then use MSG DELETE DECAYS
right away and do your part!
