Well, the Inbox limit was reached this morning, I couldn't reply to Chops124 until I deleted some messages. Starting all the way back at 2010, when I joined, I realized that of all the messages sent and received, Ben has the most piled up in my Inbox. I wish there was a way to view content more quickly to see if they're worth saving or not, but I just started picking a message or two out of a bundle, and made the decisions to cut or not based on that.
Sorry Ben, you're history ( your old messages, anyway  ).
So far, over 150 messages of the 999 have "ben" deleted <sic> , all Microbuss. So far. I'm sure I"ll find other people to cut loose, too. But I think Ben will top my "Most Popular Message to Delete" list when it's all said and done. So I've pretty much said it all, and now I need to get it done. It was good knowing you, you 600+ Microbuss messages, but it's time to visit the Trash bin.  I'll be busy for a few hours, I think. It's raining today, I'm not working in the driveway to do clean-up, so it will be an inside day for me. I need to clean out my Yahoo Inbox as well.  No offense Ben, but you gots to go! I need to make room for moar messages ( even yours ). LOL>

You can delete mine too... I know it won't make much of a dent but still.

No, yours will stay for now, being a recent addition. I'm just selectively deleting posts which have little content ( Yo! Hiya! Get onlline! ). LOL!
I've tried to find a way to see how many posts are left in the Inbox, but once it gets under 900, it seems to go away (the count), and there's no way to tell. Anyone else know how to see how many INbox messages there are? I guess it really doesn't matter that much. My Outbox is only a few hundred, not worth deleting stuff really right now. Just the Inbox was overcrowded. Had to release some of those prisoners like Obama is doing <wink> to make room. They were holding my INbox hostage. Anyway, once you're old enough and have stunk up my inbox for years, I'll get rid of you, too, Zelda.

And I thought I was bad. Found your Talgo, hopefully
the P.O. doesn't go postal on it. Must say, you gave me
a little jolt, the place wouldn't be half as much fun
with Micro saying, "GIMMIES."

I nearly panicked for a moment there. It sounded like Microbus (+ how many "s"s?) was leaving us. Tyco Forum without the Micro? Preposterous!

Occasionally. I want to keep stuff until I'm dead, but that means the wife has to deal with all the leftovers. Something MY wife is dead-set against! I guess the only way is to live single, donate everything to charity upon your death, that way you can keep everything up until you cross over. I don't feel the need to get rid of stuff, just unnecessary junk, stuff I will never use, etc. My trains? Ok, I doubt I use even 1% of them, considering how many I DO have now. 1,000's? I don't know. Anyway, I may live long enough to count them eventually. Or, not...

This is why it's important to plan out your last will and testament in advance. Make arrangements for what happens to your cr*p when you kick the bucket.

Funny but Ben's PM's are the only ones I kept. Ben is like the Patron Saint of TF. Speaking of which, I have some extra stuff i will send his way. OM in 5..4..3.2......
