We're not going to prune the post database, that contains useful information for everyone to use and research. I would think it's kind of selfish to say "I want to keep all my PMs from the beginning of time, so take content away from all users instead".

And frankly the post database takes much less time to import than PMs because of the way those relational tables are done. At nearly 100,000 PMs it was taking 4-5 hours. All of the rest of the datbases (users, posts, forums, etc) take less in total than what the PMs database was taking.
