     The whole thing sounds rather odd to me.  I just logged on to CompuServe
last month... for the first time since March '88 (that's what the system told
me when I logged on, and what I remember).  16 months without logging on,
during which time they did not nuke my account, and kept sending me their
magazine.  They even got hold of my new address when I moved somehow; perhaps
from returned magazines since I didn't bother telling them.  Most of this 
period was before they instituted the "account maintenance fee".  I had only
logged on a few times before that.  Hard to imagine them nuking an account
after only a few months of disuse.
