Quora is becoming more like Facebook in its mysterious deletion of accounts.

I only caught the one below because of email notifications. This used to be "Christopher Smallwood" who replied to one of my comments. Now, he's just a meaningless string of numbers; I imagine all of his other posts have been deleted as well.

Promising.
