Well paranoia for one, people get paranoid and feel more secure knowing that they don't have an open account that could potentially be used against them if something were to happen to them. I guess if it was that deep they could always go to their ISP and pull up their browsing history. I dunno man, it's just that we preach freedom of speech here and everything is so open, why wouldn't we have the choice to close our accounts? It just seems like it's contradicting is all, I know every user has a right to leave and never come back, but why not be able to do so and take your personal info (email address, account settings etc) and delete them?
