Volume Moving Average Study

The TA aspect I'm presently working on has to do with volume, and is as
follows:

Of the 7000 or so stocks I have in my MetaStock folders, would it be wise to
*delete* many of these, say 4000 or so, based on 'Average Volume' traded on
these stocks?

The average volume figure I would be using would be the 100-day moving
average volume.  The tentative cut-off level would be 50,000 --- any stock
trading less than that based on the 100-day average would get axed.

Pros: Explorations will be faster.

Cons: Some of those getting axed may suddenly emerge from a dormancy, and
since you axed them you'll never get to play these.

Any suggestions?
