There is many name accounts that want to be used by others, but they are lock by others that never use them at all.
Twitter should clean that mess and let active uses to use those names.

I don't want my name read:

MrGusssssssss
etc.

1 year without a single tweet and that's it.
Oh, ...kick-out all those CIA's, FBI's, NSA's, etc. that never tweet & use models chicks pics as avatars.
