Why Do You Let Your Pm Box Overflow?

[His_kitty]

I'm trying to clean out my PM box and I realized that there are quite a few I don't want to throw out. Maybe I'm sentimental or just plain silly, but I hate throwing away some of these pm's.

I've noticed how often people start a thread telling someone to clear out their PM box, and it makes me wonder..


Are they full because it's easier to be a bit lazy, and allow them to build up instead of deleting?

Or are they full because you, like me, hate throwing away sweet or funny PM's that you enjoyed reading?

I try to keep on top of mine, but sometimes it just becomes overwhelming, sort of like the clutter in the house. When that happens, I close the blinds and don't answer the door, or in the case of Lit, shut off my PMs for a few days.

A little of both, but usually it's because what was said was so engaging and fun,
that the words become sentimental to me.

And the boxes are so easy to fill.
I officially cleared mine about a week and a half ago
(from Jan when I logged on) and it was so painfu.

Now, it's Tues. and it's already halfway full again!
*sigh*

Cause I'm a rebel like that.

Overflow? Ha! I take a air hose and blow the cobwebs out every three months or so.

That assumes

That I get PMs. The unloved never get PMs.

I'm a lot like that myself, Ruby.



Now why do I doubt you fella's when you say that no one pm's you?

Most are full, because people like to save copies of what they've sent. If you turn off the option to save a copy in your sent messages folder, you can save more of the keepers.

On the other hand, if you really want to save the Kepers, click on File -> Save As in you browser and sent a copy to a folder on your hard-drive where you don't have a limit to how many you can keep.

Like you I keep a few, put in a save folder. Most get tossed immediately.

I always turn off the save copy option, and rarely use the tracking one.

I don't care what I write, it's what others write that interests me.

Good idea about the saving, I've thought about it and I guess it's about time I start.

Hiya, Daph

I copy and paste the ones I want to keep into my email account. I've only been caught once with my pants down..so to speak. And that was just a few weeks ago.

So either I'm vigilant or I rarely get pm's.

I don't let my PM box get more then 4 at a time. I used to be lazy, &, have to have people tell me to do it. So, yeah, I don't like deleting PM's. But, it's either that, or, have a full PM box. And, in that case, you're obviously not gonna get more.

Which reminds me, Sven, clean your box out so I can fill it.
