This brings to mind a question on how long to keep a username out of
circulation when the 'user' is gone.  It's analogous to a phone company
not immediately reissuing a phone number when it's disconnected.

I can think of two sub-topics under this thread, one being how long
before reusing it (if ever).

And two, what should the response be when receiving mail for that
username:
  a) forward it to their new email address if possible
  b) bounce it back with a 'sorry, no longer here'
  c) drop it in the bit bucket

Anyone care to share their thoughts or policies on these?
