Yet another situation that proves it's not reasonable to let users keep their account information/data for an extended period of time when they don't use the service. FB should provide backup/restore functionality for account data and delete accounts after N months of inactivity. They should require e-mail confirmation for logins after N weeks of inactivity and any suspicious logins. The author of the article is lucky that he still owns his geocities.com e-mail address, many such old domains have been sold and re-used. Inactive/Dead accounts are useful for bragging with account numbers, but for users they're just a risk and burden.
