Talking with my Mom earlier today (it is Mother's Day, of course), she mentioned how she no longer had a text I had sent her yesterday, because she deletes all her texts after she reads them. I was stunned - my response was basically "WHAAAT"? I couldn't see why anyone would even bother to do that. But, she likes to keep a clean "inbox" even if it's for messages. She was equally as shocked that anyone would keep all of them, "cluttering up" their messages.
We had a good laugh about it, and then she called my brother, who when asked the question in the poll, basically responded, "Noooo, of course not!"
Now, granted, she's a 75-year-old homemaker who doesn't have any real reason to ever refer to old text messages, whereas I am an active CFI and pilot who DOES occasionally have to refer to old text messages. I fully agree that there are very few times I've ever had to do so, but it's not like the messages take up any real space, so I don't see the benefit of bothering to delete them. She of course, sees no benefit to keeping them unless they are very important or sentimental, etc. So she does keep some, but very few.
What do YOU do? See the poll.
