I had 600-something, but I'm cutting back.

I'm down to 10 a day.

Daniel · « **Reply #2 on:** October 01, 2007, 01:28:58 am »

I have 513!!! Woot!

Shakesthecoffecan · « **Reply #3 on:** October 01, 2007, 12:59:18 pm »

I will send you all both a pm to let you know how many I have.

serious crayons · « **Reply #4 on:** October 01, 2007, 01:53:43 pm »

Wow, I doubt I've even received anywhere near 1849 PMs!

I have 299 right now. I did do some purging a while back, so I once had more than that. But 1849? No, I don't have that many friends!

My mothers favorite saying. The hurrier I go,, the behinder I get...

Fran · « **Reply #6 on:** October 01, 2007, 02:16:59 pm »

I've got 284 messages. My goal is to get down to 200 and stay there.

Jess:

How many pages' worth are in your outbox? Just wondering. I'm at 24, so I'm going to do some pruning there, too.

445

For me, it's ... 58 pages

David In Indy · « **Reply #9 on:** October 01, 2007, 03:42:28 pm »

Boy, I feel like a lightweight here. I only have 386!

Fran · « **Reply #10 on:** October 02, 2007, 08:21:33 pm »

Jess, if it makes you feel any better, we can pretend I said nothing about the outbox.

But aren't you glad those messages aren't tallied?

Shakesthecoffecan · « **Reply #13 on:** October 20, 2007, 01:02:21 pm »

Daniel · « **Reply #14 on:** October 20, 2007, 07:48:00 pm »

I'm down to 448 messages... **cheer**

Dagi · « **Reply #15 on:** October 22, 2007, 10:00:50 am »

I´m proud to say that I´m down to 399 again.

I´ll go on deleting so that I at least keep that level.

My outbox? Oh, God, yes, there´s an outbox, too....I´ll check that...

A couple of monhts ago - I had around 300PM's and had never deleted any and I have been here 18months & I'm a mod - so its not that you're not popular - its just that you aren't a chatter box like Jess!!!

Lumière · « **Reply #18 on:** October 25, 2007, 03:36:43 pm »

I try to prune messages every few months.
I went from over 1500, I think, not too long ago to about 60.
It didn't hurt as much as I thought it would.

Go for it Jess! Do it!

Kelda, that makes me feel better. I've never gotten all that many messages either.

But now I get a gold star because what messages I had I just pruned. I'm down to 13 in my inbox and some similar number in my outbox. It feels refereshing!

Brown Eyes · « **Reply #20 on:** October 25, 2007, 04:48:05 pm »

Great topic! I currently have 464. And, this is after a big effort on my part to weed them down since I know Phillip has been wanting us to reduce our numbers of PMs saved. Recently, I was up around 600.

I still have the very first PMs I ever received here at BetterMost. I'm very sentimental about them.

I also wish there was a way to count the numbers of messages in the PM outbox. I know I have more of those than in my inbox at the moment.
$:-\$

Are they 10 to a page? If so, you could multiply the number of pages by 10.

Me too. And maybe that explains why you and I have roughly equal numbers of posts.

But then what explains Jess, and her many PMs, and her 21,000+ posts??

Kelda · « **Reply #24 on:** October 26, 2007, 09:31:46 am »

She's Lashawn.. didn't you know?

This thread got locked for an unapparent reason. With this reply, the thread is now unlocked once again and folks can reply.

I have 558 so I am just as bad. But a little bird has revealed to me we have a handful of residents with super-sized post office boxes to handle the amazingly overstuffed 3,000+ messages they each have in their mailboxes. Naughty.

Daniel · « **Reply #27 on:** October 26, 2007, 06:58:19 pm »

I am down to 404... Still deleting 10 a day.... Ah, such fond memories...

Naughty.

Anyway... my outbox (667) is definitely worse than my inbox (467).

Weeding is a constant battle, and I'm so sentimental that I end up saving weird things for a long time. I'll keep working on it.

CellarDweller · « **Reply #29 on:** October 26, 2007, 09:05:15 pm »

If you want to hold on to your PMs, why not just copy and paste into a word doc?

Is that inbox + outbox, or just inbox? Because I might be naughty, depending on how you count it. $:-\$

I'm not too popular since I only have 106

Hi Mel,
How are you and your sister doing. Have you heard any thing about your friend in the LA area ?
They keep telling us things are getting better, but the smoke keeps billowing up tells another story.
My son lost his home in Ramona, he was able to save all bout one of his animals, but nothing else, many of our friends also lost their home. Well you take care and if you have the chance, hug your sister.
Hugs from me
Blanka (Torry)

PS it smells like burning tires.

I hope things are getting better for all of you out there in southern California. All that smoke on top of the fires must be really, really bad. Sorry to hear you have many friends that lost their homes.
