How much inactivity will get your Twitter account deleted?

Does this happen often? How often do you have to use your Twitter account or else it will get deleted for inactivity?

Twitter says they delete accounts after 6 months of activity, but do they actually enforce that strictly? If you posted once every 6 months would that protect you from having your account deleted?

Twitter is not strictly managed...

by John.Wilkinson Aug 17, 2010 1:59PM PDT

On one of my accounts, for exmple, I have been inactive, with the exception of contacting their support department, for the past year. My account is still active and I have yet to receive a response from their technical or customer support representatives. The bottom line is that their stated policies are not guaranteed to be followed.

Regards,
John
