Then again, in many cases the last editor will probably not know 
anything and might have a hard time even understanding your question!

I'd be tempted to delete them all if they're older than 3 months or so. 
Some of you said that it might have been something valuable accidentally 
deleted, but if nobody noticed that within 3 months then it cannot have 
been *so* valuable. (And if it was, it has likely been recreated already.)
