Except for "bragging rights" if someone is not a member of any group and has not posted any bug tickets or made any comments then there is little use for having a registered account. Since it is unused. If there occurs a reason for such an account then one can always submit a bug ticket to Savannah Administration (the Savannah Hackers support ticket project) and by that ticket submission it will also be "used" forever afterward and won't be a candidate for removal by this process. The purpose for removing unused accounts is to fight spammers and other abuse. Prior to Ineiev doing the work to implement this we had thousands of spammer accounts that were created only to post link spam. This policy of deleting unused accounts was intended to remove those spammer accounts. Bob
