Hmmm. I was about to say that I still don't agree because the AUR
account is only for uploading & maintaing packages and voting, but I
just realized that I hadn't taken comments into account. The user may
have actually posted some comments.

I still maintain that there is no point in keeping accounts that have
never been used for anything. It's clutter in the database and on the
disk. It's like drawing a line in the sand on a beach and then leaving
without ever coming back. If someone else wants that spot, I don't
think it should be permanently off-limits because someone might show up
months or years later and say "hey, that's my spot".


Anyway, with the realization about comments and the overall direction
of this discussion, I think think I have my answer. I'll let
forum-Jamie know.

Thanks
