PQ> So, I was wondering if anyone else does a routine purge or cull of their   
    PQ> messagebase?   
      
      Not me. I have no problems with disk space, so I keep my message base   
   intact.   
      
      My top three (size wise) are WIN95, FN_SYSOP and FIDONEWS. They are circa   
   31, 26 and 23MB. No big deal...   
      
      My recommendation is that you just keep the shit and don't disturb it.
