how do you manage your private messages? do you tend to keep them all, delete them all, trim away a few only?

I only delete the ones from people wanting to have sex with me or the ones wanting threesomes with me and pickle. What? I can't help it. I get em. Whats a hot guy supposed to do? lol -

Hey! Ed,
I do this (souldcast) differently than my email. I tend to let whatever people writei n response stay right where it is so that I have some record of how people feel about my writing. If someone is consistantly obnoxious, I will block their user.
Now, all that assumes that I understood the question:) Peace and Long Life
Love Worf

I was keeping them all at first. But then my inbox was 10 pages long. I had to delete! Especially since some of the messages were very simple like, "hey, what're you up to?" I didn't really need to hang onto that. So I deleted everything except a few really nice and important messages that I might want to read over again.

I've only gotten one message here on soulcast. Is that sad or what? lolJ -

I keep them unless it's a one-word answer to a question I asked, or a random "How's it going?" or something along those lines.

MissMimi said on Jul 10, 2007....
If they're especially sweet or humorous, I keep them. I don't get all that many though.
Gen, when you've got it, you've got it... Lucky Pickle. ;) :D

Perdy said on Jul 10, 2007....
I've not gotten a message on here yet...Not sure even how I would know if I got one. Ha! But....I'll probably keep my first one forever, unless it's mean and nasty...Then, straight to the garbage it'll go *snaps fingers*....~Perdy -
GrapeKoolaid said on Jul 10, 2007....
I'll echo many here and say, "depends on the content". -
cakebottom said on Jul 10, 2007....

Alyss said on Jul 10, 2007....
I don't get many here or elsewhere so it's not really an issue but basically I keep the important ones and delete the rest. -
Zayda said on Jul 10, 2007....
I only keep the important ones. And it it's important enough, I might copy and paste it to a Word doc and save it on my computer as well. -
skald said on Jul 10, 2007....
So far Ive kept them all. -
StupidGenius said on Jul 10, 2007....
Strangly enough i dont get any. Might be down to that honey and vinegar theory you had silver. SG -
uniquely-ironic said on Jul 10, 2007....
I would save something important, but maybe not online, but in a file on my computer. I think saving things on the net is a little risky, so why take the chance? -
mirrorimage said on Jul 10, 2007....
I've only gotten about two and I deleted them...lol -
bloc said on Jul 10, 2007....
This is totally off topic, but every time I see uniquely-ironic's name I think of that time Bush was speaking with an older woman about social security. She said that she was working 3 jobs and he said "fantastic" and "uniquely american".That's uniquely ironic ;) -
Mamie said on Jul 10, 2007....
deleted. I have too many efiles already. -
pickersplock said on Jul 10, 2007....
Depends on the message. I've kept most of them so far. -
Actorguy said on Jul 10, 2007....
Like gena, I only delete the one's who want to have sex with me, so I haven't deleted any yet LOL. But seriously, I don't get many so I just keep them.Destiny: polar had the great idea to send a copy to yourself whenever you send a message. That way you will have a copy of what you said. -
allswell said on Jul 10, 2007....
Silver....I keep all of mine, of course i don't get that many so it's easyalls:) -
Lioness said on Jul 10, 2007....
I don't get a lot, ed, but I also delete the unimportant ones. =) -
CreativeWoman said on Jul 10, 2007....
I usually delete them about once a week if I have any.

DesertMermaid said on Jul 10, 2007....
I have received very few till now so naturally I save them all !
-
SecretFetish said on Jul 10, 2007....
Eh, I only have one so far. Not so hard to keep organized. heh
-
moonriver said on Jul 10, 2007....
the number of PM's i've got so far are so few and far in-between, i look at them as rare shells thrown by the soulcast sea to this beach-comber's feet. each one of them, and i mean literally every single one of them, has brought a big smile to my face. thus, i see no need to delete any.
-
D6fer said on Jul 11, 2007....
I keep most....especially the naked pics that all of you Soulcast Women have been sending me....quite a collection....so if you haven't gotten yours to me yet and are feeling left out....better send it soon! ;p -
hotaka said on Jul 11, 2007....
Most of them have been important. Once I reply I delete them because I don't like to keep too much clutter. I was surprised to look at my messages and found a dozen or so, many from weeks ago. Some were really heart-warming and special. But I still like to clean up. -
luci-fur said on Jul 11, 2007....
i haven't got one yet, so i don't have this problem!! not that i've sent any either... so i guess it figga's that i haven't received any! um.... with the other site i go on, i just read them, respond and delete them straight away. love luci -
jadestar said on Jul 11, 2007....
What, all 5 of them? I just leave them there & go look back everytime I want to smile or feel wanted. -
destinydiva said on Jul 11, 2007....
secretfish...how do you use emoticons in posts???
(please)
:-)

silverwhisper said on Jul 11, 2007....
sweet cookie: that seems reasonable.
gen: is that why you never reply to mine?! :D
worf: um...soulcast has a new feature, private messages, which are quite different from blog entry comments. by the time you read this, you'll have rec'd one. :>
e_t: be glad we can't keep our sent ones--trimming those is a real PITA!
ex: yep, that's what i thought.
notsosingle: well, let's see if we can't do something about that... :D
infernal: yeah, basic small-talk/conversational ones i usually delete upon replying.
mimi: what, you don't keep the sexy ones?! :> btw, happy b-day, mimi!
perdy: that's the right attitude. :>
grape: yep, kinda figured.
cakebottom: i'll confess i find that suprising. for some reason i just figured you'd have more than that.
destiny: to keep a copy of messages you send, just add yourself as a recipient. :>
alyss: i had a feeling. :>
super z: outputting to an external file is something i should consider for a few...
skald: i'm just curious, is that a deliberate decision you've made or have you just not given the matter much thought?
SG: well, that and the fact that you've been gone for frigging 9 months! :>
u-i: fair point.
MI: you know, for some reason, i'm surprised by that.
bloc: wow. he really said that?! i know i shouldn't be surprised, but still...
mamie: you must be hell on wheels when you clean! :D
pickers: yep, i can certainly understand that.
actorguy: that's right, i forgot polar suggested that! that sneaky polar--she's always one step ahead of me!
allswell: well, that does make things simple... :>
lioness: yeah, i don't really get that many, either.
CW: yeah, i can see given the demands on your time that managing your PMs might be a bit too much work on a day-to-day basis. :>
desertmermaid: like i said to allswell, there's a lot to be said for simplicity. :>
secretfetish: i've been trying to figure out how to embed smileys--thank you! it never once occurred to me to do it that way! uploading the smiley into flickr--clever! i guess it shows that i never use flickr, huh? :>
moon: now that's pretty damned cool, moon. :>
d6: bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!
hotaka: i know what you mean--on a message board i frequent, i keep a bunch and ever few months i'll go look at the ones i didn't file and invariably trim out a few here or there.
luci: say what? now that can't be right!
jadestar: no, you must create a complex filing system for the 5! :D

bloc said on Jul 11, 2007....
I don't get many so I haven't needed to delete any yet. I'm a minimalist though, and will delete most if I start to get them regularly. -
destinydiva said on Jul 11, 2007....
aaahhh good plan!!! thanks silver :-)
-
silverwhisper said on Jul 11, 2007....
bloc: that makes sense.
destiny: as you can see from actorguy's comment, polar has suggested this in the past, too. :>

cakebottom said on Jul 11, 2007....
Oh come on silver, I'm not as popular as you are! I only have a small group of people who really read my blog, and y'all don't have any reason to send private messages. -
silverwhisper said on Jul 11, 2007....
you might be surprised at how infrequently i get PMs, cakebottom. :>

StupidGenius said on Jul 14, 2007....
I got a message!!!! maybe I was wrong after all and god sent it to me!!! he took the name perdy and he asked me about religion.... this is a sign!!oh...er....no.....I dont believe in signs or god.... must be a message that evolved over time and became a soulcast message. praise the......????;-}SG -
silverwhisper said on Jul 16, 2007....
...flying spaghetti monster, perhaps?
SG, it's always good to see your sense of humor in evidence. :>
