    I think the impossibility of cancelling an account is just the stupidiest strategy to keep users. I am fed up of loosing comments in wordpress blogs because I once thought I would migrate to WordPress and I didn’t, but I can’t go back. Do you want me to put a dead-end e-mail? You got it. I really don’t see why people should be forced to stay with anyone. If I want to move to wordpress in the future, I can take that decission on my own. Cutting my degrees of freedom does certainly not help me being enthusiastic about the idea though.

    You’re by no means alone in this opinion. However, the people who answer questions in this forum are mostly volunteers and we have absolutely NO control over how WordPress.com operates.
