Re: Opinions, please. Keep entire archive or toss old?

I would advocate keeping the old entries.

To the extent that people search the archives, those older messages are 
still relevant and still helping people learn. I know I've found answers 
to questions in old (pre-2000) messages.

As for being embarrassed by stupid questions, I certainly feel that way 
from time to time, but that's part of life. Learning is a process, and 
part of that process is asking stupid questions so that we can then learn 
to ask better questions (and today's better question may become tomorrow's 
stupid question, as one's mastery grows). Personally, I value the courage 
to ask more than I value being right.

FWIW
