How long do you keep the messages in your inbox?

Edited on Sat Jul-23-05 05:59 PM by terrya

I don't think I've deleted a whole lot of them. They're...history. I kind of hate to part with them.

Silly, I know. :-)

8. I feel the same way.

History. A part of me. Still, I'm wondering if some things are better kept in well-processed part of my brain's hippocampus rather than my inbox. We'll see.

9. I keep many of them...

I tell my kids that it's kind of like my diary. I have emails they sent me while on trips abroad, first day of college, etc..

10. I think that I've never thrown any away! Maybe one, at most...

I always feel as though I might want to re-read something sometime...I'm such a packrat!

I've been wondering, BTW, if DU as a whole has a problem with people storing lots of messages in their inboxes, or PM's, or bookmarked items. Is all this storage a problem for the bandwidth?

:shrug:

11. I haven't deleted many

It makes me feel like I have friends here..lol.
Seriously, I agree with you. I like to look back and see what was going on and when. Plus I like to look at all the "I love you johnnie!!!" ones all the time. Well, I wrote those, but...it's still good to have..LOL.
