    You youngsters probably have no interest in the subject, but you will eventually... How often do you go through your cell phone Contacts, to delete the dead ones? :^)

      Dead as in no longer living, or dead as in you doubt the need to ever contact them again? Either way, I clean house once or twice a year. Try to keep things relevant.

          Had to read through the entire thread before I realized that your use of the word 'dead' was meant in a literal sense and not metaphorical. With the increase in inexpensive storage space, I only remove contacts which I can't remember any details about. If a person has passed away, they are still in there. If I look through the list and see their name, it is a reminder of the good times we shared. Otherwise any contact I made over the course of my life or career might be useful down the line, even if I need to make an effort to track them down. On the other hand if it is a person that I don't wish to associate with any more, I move them to the blocked contact section instead.

            As soon as I think of it - sometimes it's within hours or days. Certainly within a couple weeks.

              I was weeding my phone a couple of months ago, came across a couple that had been gone 2 or 3 years (and several that are still alive afaik, but out of touch or no longer relevant). I am still pissed at my bro who erased my father's answering machine greeting a day or two after he died. I wanted to save a copy, one of very few records of his orator's voice. Cheers, Peter

              Ugh, yeah. I do regret that I don't have any recordings of my parents' voices.

                  Never. That's because I never add any in the first place. I have just 3 contacts, (wife, home, boss) and the phone won't answer to any call not in the contact list. :-)

                    I just saw this on Big Bang Theory. I've only had to delete one for a colleague since I didn't know her family and had no reason to call them.

                      So, you're never going to answer if I call again? ;P You're still in my contact list, BTW, but I may have to delete you for not saving my number. ;)
