It isn't like the link is malicious but considering relevant news items a large portion of people (on this site) want to delete their accounts it may be quite useful.

- wwortiz 16y agoI think it's my age that causes me to say on accident by instinct as everyone I ever grew up with has said on accident.

- coderdude 16y agoIs it really a large portion that wants to delete their accounts? The last time I visited that Ask HN thread the highest rated comments were from people saying "uh, no." Perhaps it's just a vocal minority within the greater vocal minority that is HN.
