Have you ever kept a nasty voice mail, text or email for any reason?

I delete everything as soon as I listen to it but back in January my brother left a very nasty message on my landline voice mail that I will never delete. I also have an email from him saying just about the same things that I won't delete either. My reason for keeping these horrible messages is that sometimes I think about him and feel bad that things have turned out the way they have (very long story)and feel like I want to call him. So, when I start feeling this way I listen to the voice message or read the email and it all comes back to me that he's not worth it and I'm better off without him in my life. If anyone read my discussion about what he did to me about Christmas dinner at my Mom's then you can see the type of person he is. He called me, my kids, my sister and her kids the "C" word and said a lot of other needlessly hurtful things. To be honest I expected this to happen and he proved me right. Have you ever kept a nasty message, note, email or anything along these lines that someone sent to you? If you did what was your reason for doing it?
