Bring Back the Album History?

I recently deleted a huge list of my album-buying history from my 50 Albums list. Since then, geek has told me that she liked it. I did save the update history. Should I put it back?
Seems like that album history was more popular than I thought. I'll put it back, but if I max out the 50 Albums list, I'm blaming you three!
Actually, it might take me a little while because the computer I usually use (where I have the album history saved) is broken. Lately, I've been using the computer my brother usually uses. So I can't put it back until I get that other computer fixed.
Just add it to the archives. I get a lot of enjoyment reading old lists that have been archived by their authors. Sometimes too soon, if you ask me.
Hmm... but then you have to search for it instead of just finding it on my profile. No, if people like the purchase history and I bring it back, I won't archive it. I hate finding archived stuff that's actually good on other people's profiles.
You know... this bugged me for awhile and could perhaps be tweaked a little by Jim to make it a little more obvious to newcomers. For the longest time I thought you had to know the title of the list or the authors name in order to search for a particular list or article that'd been archived.
Then one day I looked to the left in the search box and saw that after you open a members main content page, you can just check off the "so-and-so's content" in the search box, click on "Go" and all their archived content gets automatically added to the page. In at least one case (Johnny W's), almost "seven" times the content.
I suspect I'm not the only person that hasn't noticed this somewhat "out-of-the-way" feature. If it was added as a shortcut/link button on everyone's main content page, it would certainly help to further open the window to the tremendous archive that exists here.
But then again, perhaps some of us are just a little bit slower than others ;)
