Do you save all of your messages or do you delete them as you go? My response time was getting really slow when I would click on messages to send a new one. A buddy informed me that he had 13 years worth of our conversations and he had to delete them to get the response time up. so Yesterday I decided I needed to clean house.
I discovered I had messages in there going all the way back to Jan 2008. I have no idea how many messages there were but it took me 2 hours to delete the names of persons I am no longer in contact with. There were 4 that I knew were dead. A few that had changed user names. There were dancers that I knew both ITC and OTC but had forgotten. There were a few still active on the discussion board that I had not sent a message to in 6 or 8 years. I had to delete 2 of them that I have been long time friends with simply because there were just too many conversations. Now I am starting from scratch with them. When I was done I left only about 20 names out of the hundreds that I deleted.
It as kind of a stroll down memory lane.
I periodically delete them but save the main ones
