No, only after going through pending patches do I purge them.  And when
a series of patches generates a thread like this one, where people are
arguing over the way the macros are named, and no one seems to agree, I
will take it as the fact that this series was contentious and needs to
be resent after taking into consideration the original complaints.

For me to keep all email threads, based on the amount of email I get[1],
would be ludicrous.
