My vote was based on the idea that for housecleaning purposes, it's easier to remove something old if it is discontinuous with the present, because it's no longer needed or wanted. So, no resurrecting ancient stuff. But that is a good point about the history.

Even if you're going to save stuff for its historical value, eventually you will run out of usable space--first to view it or use it, then to store it. Admonitions to search before you post will be meaningless if the search resembles hunting a needle in a haystack. I think that eventually choices will have to be made about what to keep and what to throw out, but whoever makes those choices will need a bulletproof skin.
