I won't.  I have several accounts (just received three duplicate
emails) and, I like you, have not used except for testing a while ago.

I wonder how much of their published user base are people like me?  I
think it would be safe to say that many people registered once upon a
time and have stopped using and or created multiple accounts.  I think
you could safely cut the user count by two thirds.

I also think they should change their name, but I do not anticipate
enough interest that they will be in operation very much longer.
Besides no real value that I can see at least for me, they were
plagued by technical problems and outages.

I wonder where Jeff will pop up next when FWD becomes past.

Thanks,
