Are you a keeper or deleter (PMs)
I am a viscious deleter. I have kept a few meaningful PMs, but mostly I delete. If my inbox has over 40 messages, I begin to feel twitchy. Same with email (but those are much less, about 10 in my inbox).
How about you?

Re: Are you a keeper or deleter (PMs)
I don't think I've deleted any GCM PMs, but I only have 48.
I'm mostly a keeper, but I also try to keep my emails organised: delete junk as it arrives, etc. But I don't tend to delete messages from individuals. I deleted emails from an ex about a year after the breakup, but that is it. Oh and one time I went through old emails from high school and deleted the chain type emails (you know, the ones that ask questions about you), except for the most interesting ones. If I reach a message limit, I obviously have to delete the least substantial messages.

Re: Are you a keeper or deleter (PMs)
I'm a keeper. The amount of digital clutter I keep is ridiculous, and logically I know this, but I can't bring myself to delete it either.

Re: Are you a keeper or deleter (PMs)
Both, depends if I think about it or not.

Re: Are you a keeper or deleter (PMs)
Both. If it is meaningful, I'll keep it.
If I'm not sure, I'll keep it for a while. Other stuff, I delete.

Re: Are you a keeper or deleter (PMs)
I'm a keeper. I have thousands of emails in my inbox. Drives my dh nuts. He deletes everything. He thinks I'm a hopeless digital hoarder.

Re: Are you a keeper or deleter (PMs)
I'm somewhere in the middle. I only wish I had 10 emails in my inbox! I wonder how closely our digital minimalism/tidiness corresponds to our houses. Do those of you who keep your inboxes neat as a pin do the same in your houses and vice versa? I'm a minimalist wannabe, which puts me somewhere in the middle at home as well.

Re: Are you a keeper or deleter (PMs)
This is my mom, but her house is completely clutter free. There goes my theory.

Re: Are you a keeper or deleter (PMs)
A big keeper, and I've been glad when I needed proof someone was lying
