Please don't tell anyone, but I too have quite a number of list posts
flagged in mutt for adding to the notes - just not done yet. While
deleting 95% of posts and flagging 1% does distill the local archive
to a useful essence, it's still not as accessible as structured notes,
where related information is colocated, mixed with personal experience.

The optimal balance between doing and documenting depends significantly
on how good the wetware memory still is, but the act of documenting can
significantly improve that memory. (I have forgotten the numbers put
forward, at a seminar decades ago, for the percentage retention of what we:
hear, read, write, carry out in practice, but the difference is marked.)
