Cleaning house: deleting some ancient, non-abused addresses

I sometime feel a little guilty about having so many SpamGourmet addresses (even though I've donated). I have dozens that are very old, no longer used, and that have never received a spam.

I realize that 'deleting' one of these would mean should a spam come along it would reactivate the account with whatever count was originally specified, but that's fine by me.

Would SpamGourmet gain something by allowing advanced users to delete really old addresses, or is the storage space involved simply so trivial that it's a non-issue?

Next time Josh reorganizes the database, he might make provisions for automatically deleting addresses that are hidden and haven't been used for a long time.

Meanwhile, spare disposables really don't take much space, so don't feel bad. You can help by hiding the ones you really don't plan to use anymore. This way, in the future, we'll know that we can clean them off the DB if they haven't received any email in a long time.
