Another story about Facebook not deleting user accounts

Slashdot are carrying another Facebook won’t let you delete your information store, but I find it quite funny that Slashdot, homepage of millions of computer geeks, don’t let you delete your account either: 

How can I delete my account?

You can’t. The system needs to keep track of the users, so accounts are permanent. Don’t sweat leaving unused accounts hanging around. It doesn’t hurt anything.

Maybe Facebook should put that in their FAQ too..
