Facebook Is A Downer

This is the thing most webmasters don't think about. When a user deactivates, closes, or deletes his or her account, it should be totally erased from a given website's database upon cancellation leaving absolutely no trace. It's be as if that user had never registered at that website. This might mean that if a user decides to re-register an account, he or she will have to re-enter his or her info., but it also has the advantage of allowing the user to start fresh (like I'd like to do on PayPal, Google, Yahoo, and a bunch of other sites).

John, I found information on deletion at this site:

I don't know how thorough it is, but if you want to go back to facebook you are starting from scratch with the deletion. I can still go back and regain my account with deactivating...but I don't know if I want to.
