we havent had a request or anything, its just part of my processs to remove the email account when i remove the equipment from a closed account, the disconnect was scheduled already. Im just curious, Ill probably leave the email active just in case. just FYI however, If I die, I want any and all digital footprints removed as quickly ass possible.
I think about it though, my dad retired a few years ago, my mom this year, theyre just getting to know each other again, they were so busy for the last 30 or 40 years they missed out on each other. If one of them bit it I would think if there were any momentos or pictures available I think it would be nice for the other to have the opportunity to see it.
