(actually, this reminded me I hadn't gone through the ones I keep logs in since...well, a long time. And that stuff I only need about the last month's data. So I just deleted 2500 messages.)
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Does anyone else get to the end of the thread, put the cursor in the post box, and hit paste just to see if, at some point, they had something to say?
Just me? Okay then.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
we keep everything around here
We're not supposed to. Internal CYA is nice, but external liability is more important. I think the decision is to err on the side of "If you haven't made it official, yank it."
In theory. It's apparent I'm the only one that listens to Email or Retention.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

No, but I often hit command+v only to discover that I've lost whatever it was I wanted to quote to a variety of work-related command+c-ing.

Sometimes I accidentally paste Buffista quotage into code I'm working on.
So far, this hasn't happened with a boss looking over my shoulder.

Sometimes I love how USA Today defines "news."
Cream puffs rise to meet new demand:
A nation of allegedly nutrition-conscious consumers has some serious explaining to do: The cream puff is making a comeback.
Two competing Japanese chains — both new to the U.S. market — are selling fresh, hot cream puffs like, ah, hot cakes. Other big names are starting to peddle cream puffs via mail order. Even Bon Appetit magazine has pegged the cream puff — a puff pastry with flavored cream filling — as the hot dessert for 2005.
"We all talk a good game, but less than 2% of us are actually eating what the Food Pyramid tells us to," says Tanya Wenman Steel, New York editor at Bon Appetit. Watch out, Krispy Kreme, she says, "cream puffs will be the next big thing."

I accidentally search for Buffista quotes in my tapes database all the time. (Have yet to find any, but who knows?)

What is even happening?
Relatedly, my university email account automatically deletes anything more than two months old. And there's no way to get it back. Not sure if that's a special feature of having a student account, but it SUCKS for work.
You could get a gmail account (I have invites if you need one), and forward the stuff you want to keep for long term, to that account.
