Sorry to those who are curious, but I'm not going to state my reason - it's not all that personal but is still well with in the realm of "my own business". Surely it's not a prerequisite for deleting an account.
If I knew that there wasn't a standard way to delete accounts I probably wouldn't have signed up in the first place. It might help keep the number of temporary accounts, so there's a chance that it's a feature.
The current plan is to wait a while longer, then I'll send PG an email.
A point that I find interesting is that if I didn't care about the community at all I could probably exit the site very rapidly by way of a submission script - not my style, but does make me wonder if it's been tried before. I'm sure it's quicker than an exchange of emails :) And it remains an option if nothing else will do the trick.

Is that your way of threatening ? > And it remains an option if nothing else will do the trick. Oh, yes it seems it is. Well, here's news for you: A surefire way to get yourself banned, not deleted is such a script. That means all your information from the past is just as visible as it is today. And I think it is perfectly reasonable to ask for a reason if you ask someone to do work for you, it's the polite thing.
