This seems like a more public representation of what is probably being done on most sites anyway, with the exception of the login credentials being invalidated. That being said, it is more than a little unnerving to know that my account will always be accessible in one form or another. As a member of the "internet" I felt that there were certain understood "rights" that were available to me... account suicide being one of them. I guess that type of thinking is more hopeful than realistic nowadays.
