Oh, I can't believe that I forgot about reminders. On my system, I
needed to weed out abandoned accounts, and it wasn't always to tell
which accounts were abandoned. So for my best guess, I disabled
abandoned accounts, and about once every 2-4 weeks I send a reminder
to the account to tell them that I've disabled it, but they can
contact me if they need it re-enabled. This has worked very well;
fifteen users did contact me to remind me that they are still alive.

So, I do think you should consider reminders. I think that's a good
idea. (I defer to your judgment on WHAT to tell those users.)

Cheers,
