purge the PM box WHA-AT?!?!?!?! Oh my God, I couldn't BEAR to do that! My God, I would never get over the shock--why, I'm close to fainting at the very thought [fanning e]. I have copied, oh, prolly a couple hundred over time and transferred them to my e-mail; but other than those, I have deleted almost none of my PM's since I came here. Good night nurse, they're IMPORTANT ! Just last week something brought to mind a PM I knew I'd gotten some time ago; I delved in and found it; it was from 2001, July I think; it was so nice to read it again, and just for fun I copied it and sent it back to its sender, so we both got a trip down memory lane!
