Oh, okay. But then the problem still remains, does pidgin delete logs
at all? Here's the issue: I want to keep my logs from taking up
infinite amounts of space, but at the same time, i dont want to delete
them all in 1 go when they get too large, but rather, the oldest ones
first. Is that possible?
