I pretty much do the same, but I don't delete. That way if I ever have to search for something, its all there as a resource - earmarked as important/relevant if its something I've already read.
When I fall behind, I will just mark everything past a certain point as read. Also, within Gmail, I have all sotrs of filters that apply additional labels to messages automatically. Like, if a thread contains KB links or to blogs that I know will have *good* information in them. Took a little while to setup properly, but it allows me to quickly target where the "meat" of a thread is.
