I've got to say that the frightened classmate
looks rather 'teabaggerish'. Who the fuck would save two emails about a loony classmate who was no longer in the class. Way too neat for me,but then I'm a cynic.

1. I have all my emails from my classes in Blackboard this past fall
All the correspondence between students and faculty. I just haven't bothered to delete them.

6. Yup... I set the archive email function to delete automatically
after either 8 months or a year, depending on the folder, figuring if I hadn't needed it by then it was safe to delete. I only delete obvious spam or irrelevant emails. LOL

9. Yup
It's not a matter of saving them, it's a matter of not going to the trouble of deleting them. With near unlimited storage it is easy to be lazy, and with mail search programs almost everything can be retreived.

13. Not sure - didn't realize there were three of them
I'll pay closer attention from now on. I'm sure we'll be hearing more from them.

4. Call me a hoarder
Edited on Mon Jan-10-11 10:21 AM by Wickerman
but I have emails dating back to the 90's on my back up drive. :shrug: Years of emails take up less space than a MP3 of the latest Taylor Swift single.

14. That's not how it works.
When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

When all you have is tea, everyone looks like a bag.

When all you have is teabags, everyone looks like a cup of hot water.
