Research direction

Start by locating the code that currently writes messages to stdout and the code that updates hot comments. Determine where elapsed time for those updates can be observed, then define what logging output is needed to assess whether the bot should use a different resume-scraping rubric. No files or tests are named in the issue.

Description

enhancement

Right now it just pushes messages to stdout. We should have some real logging going on of some kind. In particular, I'd like to log the amount of time it takes to update hot comments to determine if perhaps the bot shouldn't have a different rubric for when to resume normal scraping.
