With the large hard drives of today there's no need to purge... in
fact I have an average of 5 years retention on most echos.
Unfortunately the settings are a max of 9999 messages or 999 days...
There is no other "retention" greater than that in fastecho, ELE or
RA's settings :-(

Only thing I hear from the mailing list right now is crickets.
There's nothing much going on.
