Do you have a Wordpress account? If so, did you know that you can't delete it?
If you've contributed to Wikipedia, you can't delete you're account there either.
Smashing Magazine is a blog on website design that I follow from time to time. They recently did an article on how to delete your various accounts. According to them, it's a lot harder than one would expect. But don't worry...they give you shortcuts and tips on how to get rid of unwanted accounts.
In my opinion, making the settings on social networking websites easy to access makes me feel more confident in using them. This includes being able to find the "delete" button when I need it. Websites designers may feel there's an advantage to hide these capabilities, but I'm not a fan of the website easter-egg hunt.
PS: There's another interesting website I'd like to tell you about - http://www.bounceapp.com/. Bounce App allows you to type in a website you are designing and get collaborative feedback from your friends. You can even use twitter and facebook to get input.
