Halved!

I tend to compulsively save email addresses in my GMail contact list. It has clearly gotten out of control, so I just went through and deleted all of the addresses that fit any of the following criteria:

• Anonymous Craigslist address from answering an ad
• Old CMU address for someone that I know hasn't been affiliated with the school for quite some time
• Entries with nothing that clues me in to why I would know this person or ever need the address again

With just those three criteria, I deleted 288 entries with 289 remaining. Some of the remaining entries are questionable, but I didn't want to accidentally delete something that I would need again in the future.
