/**
 * A ForumMessage encapsulates message data. Each message belongs to a thread,
 * and relates to other messages in a thread in a tree relationship. This system
 * allows messages to represent threaded conversations. For example:
 *
 * <pre>
 *   [thread]
 *        |- [message]
 *        |- [message]
 *                 |- [message]
 *                 |- [message]
 *                          |- [message]
 *        |- [message]
 * </pre><p>
 *
 * Each message has a subject and body. Messages are authored by a user
 * in the system or can be anonymous. An ID is given to each message so that
 * it can be tracked uniquely. Because is possible that one might want to store
 * considerable more information with each message besides a subject and body,
 * each message can have an arbitrary number of properties. For example, a
 * property "IP" could be stored with each message that records the IP address
 * of the person posting the message for security reasons.<p>
 *
 * The creation date, and the date the message was last modified are maintained
 * for each message.<p>
 *
 * For added functionality, any number of filters can be applied to a message.
 * Filters dynamically format the subject and body of a message. Methods are
 * also provided to bypass filters.
 *
 * @see ForumMessageFilter
