shrug-l: generalize or resample points

[Porter, William B.]

I was given a point file with points that can describe a line with the points far too close together.
I believe it was streaming data from a GPS on a bicycle. It seems like there should be a simple way to generalize the points, taking out 4 of every 5 - or leaving in only one of every five points.
I can't dig it out of ArcGIS documentation.

Any ideas?  I can't be the first person to run into this.
