ASK HN: Google account disabled. Oh what to do?
jasonkester: Lame.  This happened to me with my Yahoo mail account.  Twice.The first time was way back when Yahoo first launched mail.  They actually lost EVERYBODY's accounts at one point early on, and you had to sign up again.  That was acceptable back in 1996!The second time was 3 years ago.  Account gone.  1000s of important mails lost forever.  Yahoo doesn't have any form of customer service, so weeks of emailing them did no good.  Worse still, a couple years later when Yahoo bought Flickr, there went my Flickr account and all my photos.I'm glad to see that Google employs real human beings that read their email and care about things like this!
