Good thinking John, makes good sense and not difficult to implement.

I would suggest that expired nodes NOT be removed from
the database.  Instead, they should be flagged as expired
and not shown by default.  This allows someone to reactivate
their expired node, without having to reenter all information.
It also allows someone looking to connect to search through
expired nodes as a last resort. Displaying expired nodes should
be an option.  Of course a node owner should be able to explictly
delete their node from the database.
