The author's name is pretty inconspicuous (randomhack), but if it was like mine, it would be tied to a bunch of other online websites with the same name/identity. Maybe he doesn't want that to be indexed on Google. There could be a variety of reasons. Anyways, IMHO deletion of one's account should be possible for every service for any reason.

#10Why all the histrionics? Why not just ask, "Ask PG: How do I delete my account?" I'm just so full of questions for someone like randomhack...
"Why delete it? Why not just stop coming here?" "Why is it that, if a company doesn't have a 'Delete my acct' button, they are evil?"
