Retroactive inactivity

Thank you Google. I understand that you want Android developers to be active in their Play accounts. I understand that you sent me several email warnings about this. I was, however, quite busy.

But yesterday, I was able to find time to log in to my account. There were warning banners telling me my account might be closed due to inactivity.

And I was able to upload a new version of my app.

...and 10 hours later, you cancelled my developer account. Seriously?

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
