WHY cant we DELETE out ACCOUNTS if we WISH?

I have another account which I would like to DELETE quite simply because its name is private. Yes, I have changed its name but anyone right now who searched my name in google, gets to see it under its old name, and all the topics I asked about?! Thats not NICE! I many of us would like to be able to DELETE our ACCOUNTS, including all INFORMATION we SUBMITTED! I'm not the only one concerned, this matter has been brought up AGAIN and AGAIN in every possible way. The ANSWERS TEAM just copy and paste their useal message, DELETE YOUR ENTIRE YAHOO ACCOUNT!!! I know that the ANSWERS TEAM have received thousands of complaints regarding this. WHAT NOW?

    Well if you can afford to loose all your ~Yahoo! products including e-mail you can just simply report all your questions for abuse.

    On the other hand you have contributed to the knowledge database that Answers! is building. People seem to be unaware that they are asking questions to inform others and future generations. It isn't a game - reconsider contributing if you don't want your questions to inform others which is the purpose of the site - hence the term community.

    nicely you could no longer delete your account from a telephone e book the two, so why make one in each of those fuss ? And in case you're ashamed of what you in the previous published, next time be quite greater clever on your Q and A !!
