Excuse me for snickering, but I have to wonder what portion of the 66% of
13,541 readers understand that closing their accounts does not make the
information go away and that the "Snail's Trail" of their data will remain
much longer than the next rainstorm??

While the article says: 5b) Delete your account: You can also chose to get
rid of the whole kit and caboodle, and close your entire account, which
will wipe your Web history, Gmail and Google Talk data.

I'd suggest to anyone considering deleting their account/s to read the
"Terms of Service" page in great detail.  You should have done this before
you signed up and started using the service/s as they suggested when you
signed up, but you may not have. Suffice to say, they assume no liability
or responsibility for what happens to any content you elected to put there,
before or after you delete the account.

So good luck with that 66% or 13,541 readers
