You should be ok. It says that 'Deleting your profile won't delete your Google Account.' here: http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=...

As far as I can tell this statement is about a public profile. The private profile is essentially a google account, and I don't know a way to delete a google account and keep a gmail address associated with it.

No, the private profile is essentially a public profile. If you delete a public/private profile, all access to buzz is gone, and all past 'buzzes' will not be accessible (effectively deleted).

That's quite confusing. How can I tell that a profile is private vs public (which seems to be a default)?
