   With the large hard drives of today there's no need to purge... in   
   fact I have an average of 5 years retention on most echos.   
   Unfortunately the settings are a max of 9999 messages or 999 days...   
   There is no other "retention" greater than that in fastecho, ELE or   
   RA's settings :-(

   Only thing I hear from the mailing list right now is crickets.   
   There's nothing much going on.
