The problem being, you never know what you *might* need. Mailing list
archives are often a full knowledge base. As I read every mail here, it's
impossible to remember all important details. Instead, I let my database
be the storage, my head shall be the index. And yes, I do occasiaonally
look up year-old info.
And the other stuff, I just keep for nostalgia :-D Sadly, I lost 2 years
of Bat-correspondence in February :(
