Do you save your pm's, or delete them?
Good lord.....I have brazillions of pm's - and when it comes to communications, I prefer to save them rather than delete them. Is there a way to organize them, or do they just sit in the inbox in the order they showed up? I've considered copying and pasting them into Word Docs and placing them in folders....is there an easier way that any of you have figured out?

1. I usually go on a deleting binge about once every six months.
I keep ones that have phone numbers, addresses, etc., but all the others get the heave ho.

4. I just may have to do that
if I can't find a way to organize them. It's out of control. :)

2. Do you have people on your buddy list that you have no idea who
they are or why they are on your list. I have a couple from three or four years ago, that I have never pm'ed or gotten a pm from. i guess i should try and figure out who they are (they were not ts'ed, though)

6. LOL! No, I don't have that problem.
And you, Mr. Romo, are on mine, fwiw. :hi: I'm still trying to figure out the reason for the buddy list - is it simply to make it easier to pm them?

3. I've saved all the ones I like
I should probably delete some..But some have some pictures in them that I couldn't bear to part with.

8. It's the paralegal in me, I'm telling you!
If there's one thing I have pounded into my head, it's "Always keep documentation!!!" And so unless I find a way to organize and condense them, my inbox will eventually explode. :)

5. it takes far too long to clear them
a select all, or a drag-drop style interface would do wonders. click click click click click click

9. must have missed it, or it's new
An 'invert selection' button would be even better

11. I keep ones that have info i'll forget otherwise...
Links, or phone numbers or whatever... I probably have less than 5 still in my inbox right now.

14. I save them and I cherish them.
No fondling though, 'cause that's weird.

15. My dearJerseyGirlDem!
I've had so damn many, and many are precious to me... The solution I've hit on is to print them out, and keep them in a big binder!Then I erase them! I try to do this monthly, but usually I fail... :hi:

17. I have TONNES (yes, the enormity of the volume warrants the British spelling)
and I'm too lazy to delete them. Until I get a message from the admins telling me I'm crashing the DU servers, there they'll stay. :shrug:
