      As a general rule, that is a very good one.   
      
      If however you feel adventurous you may try Johan Billing's crashmaint   
   program (part of the CrashMail II program suite).   
      
      I run it from time to time, like once a year or so, mostly to make linking   
   a wee bit faster. It hasn't corrupted anything yet (after ten years) I simply   
   run it like this:   
      
   crashmaint MAINT PACK   
      
      Needless to say you have to use CrashMail II and tell it in the config how   
   many messages you want to keep:   
      
   KEEPNUM 1000   
      
      This for every echo. If no KEEPNUM is defined, crashmaint will not touch   
   the echo. It will of course *not* renumber any message base, but it will   
   become much smaller.
