I had originally figured I wouldn't purge anything, ever.  Mainly since I
wish I still had the old messages from the mid/late 80s when I first fired
up this BBS.  

Storage it not a concern at all, anymore.  The only time it was - dates
back to when I ran my BBS on an Apple //c and (2) floppy drives.  I could
only hold around 50 messages per message area back then.
