One huge advantage to never deleting my email archive:-

I still have an easily readable archive of my LJ comments from as far back as 2003. Who still remembers Wimborne (huskyteer ) and Shelltune avon_deer)?

I'm glad to say most of these people I still know today. And the really funny thing is despite people frequently pointing to the decline of Livejournal, most of those earliest commenters are all still active on LJ today! :D

Wimborne was my Neopet, whose LJ account mine originally was!

I should probably check in on my Neopet sometime. He's been neglected for about 7 years now... >.

I keep my archive as well, though mine doesn't go back quite as far, since in the old days Yahoo had a storage limit of 6 MB. =:P

I daren't even check how much space my email is taking up these days. But I expect it's several gig now!

"shelltune" is a name I took from a car repair shop in Northampton.

Entei-rah is just the name of a Pokemon with the lapine suffix on the end, added when I started doing a Watership Down website to indicate 'chief or webmaster'.

I wish I had a more interesting story sometimes!

It's always interesting to look back and see our relationships from years ago.

I think you're about in that first year of comments too. :D

Wimborne! No, I must've only known huskyteer following renaming/switching.. but I do remember that Shelltune guy. =:)

Meanwhile, I've altered slightly differently - the name's the same, but the species changed along the way. ^_^

Similarly, I never delete my email archive, though I don't keep everything that comes in, especially on mailing lists. LJ comments and messages, though, are always left untouched. And usually responded to, assuming I'm not too brain-dead at the time of reading (eg having just woken up), which sometimes results in me forgetting to respond. (Not often, I hope)

Heh, yes I still remember you before you were a bunny. ^.^ Actually I'm kinda weird in that I nearly always think of furs by the first fursona I knew them under, even if they've been something different for considerably longer!
