#Message deletions
4 messages in this thread
I am going to have to cut my ASOFT forum Compuserve expenses. I would like to
just visit the forum once a week. How long do messages typically stay on the
forum? Which day do you usually delete old messages?
I don't want to miss any messages, but I personally have to cut my Compuserve
expenses, so I was planning just to log in on Fridays. Is there a better day?

Chris,
PMJI, but messages will easily (so far) last a week on the forum. I would
guess that there are about 1400 new messages posted a week. Are you using an
offline message reader (such as OZCIS)? I log on at least 2-3 times a day
average for a total online time of about 4-5 minutes (16-20 minutes a week). If
you download 1400 messages on friday that would take roughly 13 minutes at 9600
baud (at least with the sporadic connections that I get!)

I use Wincim and I would only be downloading specific threads, not all of them.

Chris,
Just curious…how long does it take you to download these threads? I'm
wondering if you're spending more time online by sorting these out before
downloading?
