Is there a way to do a bulk removal/deletion/export of messages based upon date or topic Well sort of, yes. Firstly there is a world of difference between deleting messages and topics. Delete a topic and all the messages within it vanish as well. There is a way of deleting in batches, if not actually in bulk. Starting at your topic view, add -test to the URL and go to it. This produces a checkbox beside every topic along with some possible actions at the top. Check the boxes for the topics you want to delete (might be a good idea to start with your oldest topics!) and then click Delete at the top. I don't know what your preferred Items Per Page is but it might be worth changing yours to 50 or 100 rather than the default 20; the setting is in your Account > Preferences, not in the settings for your group Subscription.
Hope that helps a bit.
