Otherwise, I generally do a purge at the end of each academic year of stuff I'd saved just in case. <BR/><BR/>Mel, I don't even TRY to aim for zero - that's just impossible :)Dr. Crazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12457967076373916629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099192.post-1155326217735906212006-08-11T15:56:00.000-04:002006-08-11T15:56:00.000-04:00that's an inspiring decrease...every so often I st...that's an inspiring decrease...every so often I start purging with the goal of getting to zero...haven't gotten there yet, though.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18101745666402341618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099192.post-1155324487016861752006-08-11T15:28:00.000-04:002006-08-11T15:28:00.000-04:00I'm surprised to see you erase all your student em...I'm surprised to see you erase all your student emails right away - I save mine for at least a year in case someone comes back to argue something.

When I finally delete them – without ever really having looked at them – I really regret that I might be missing out on something interesting.<BR/><BR/>Update: I so totally agree with this. It’s the equivalent of leaving a voicemail with just a name and number. Can’t you please leave just a brief message of what this might be about so that I can either take care of it or at least start thinking about it?<BR/><BR/>Final update: It may be lame in the sense that it was in no way enjoyable. But, hell, 1500 to 243 is a major accomplishment. It definitely wasn’t a wast of time. Good for you.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07395686312754791503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099192.post-1155231620533045632006-08-10T13:40:00.000-04:002006-08-10T13:40:00.000-04:00I have about 900 e-mails in my old inbox.
