    I deleted members that registered over a year ago and never posted. I'll be doing this from time to time from here on out.

    When I read the topic I was afraid that you are going to prune my posts, for I am an old member! But now I see what you mean... [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Jim, age is a state of mind, you're only as old as you feel... :D

    Oh, excuse me Diane for calling us old! But you are so right. We are not old, we are but better. [​IMG]

    Brother Jim, you just made the Humorous Quotes of the BB #2003, page 2, 12th post! I don't think the Webmaster ever thought about the close association between old members and pruning (as in prunes). :D

    Sheila, I feel very young! The problem is, my old bones are telling me otherwise... ;)

    Now, here is a young peson (I know she is young, for I met her last week in NYC, as she was passing by with her three beautiful girls), and she is telling us old folks that we are not old (thank you Gina, you are a pal), but we are something to do with chronology? I hope that is something good Gina! [​IMG]

    Barnabas...LOL I can relate to that. :eek: How is it that all the books I am interested in or need are on the bottom shelves, I can get down there, but getting up is becoming a bit of a struggle. The knees and hips need a bit of oiling I think. [​IMG]

    You'll have to let us know how many actual active members there really are here. The membership number has got to be way off. I mean if it was actually in the thousands none of us would be able to log on right?

    So if a person doesn't post for a year, they are pruned then? That seems a very reasonable amount of time to assume that they aren't coming back. Most discussion boards consider 3 months of inactivity as adequate before the membership is closed. (just an observation, not a suggestion)
