Here is an example of how NOT to retire an unused email address..

I was going through our bugtracker today for Plucker and pilot-link issues as I was preparing for another pilot-link release (0.12.3, woo!), and decided to go through all of the legacy issues marked as Resolved, and mark them as Closed, to clean up the view for developers and other users.

Many of these bugs were posted months and years ago, from users who have since moved on, or changed their email addresses. When a bug is modified, or the status is changed, the posting user and anyone monitoring those bugs will get an email with the updated information.

One of the emails I got back today was just too funny NOT to share, so here it is:
