You can try emailing pg, but that's more of a rumor as it's unclear what account deletion would do. Certainly it would not remove your contributions on HN.

It'd be nice if there were a terms of service stating this when signing up.

You should assume it when signing up for any site unless otherwise indicated.

Now why would you ever want to do that? :P

I guess he is frustrated and (possibly) read few productivity blogs. :)
Just joking :)

If you use the search, you'll find that to delete your account, you need to email pg. I've done it before. He'll take care of it.
