in my opinion this is a huge security issue, not even a free service like gmail releases your username.... to avoid it to be reused

it means, if you signup for a pobox account and if you want to use the pobox domain it's better that you be prepared to never stop paying for the account for the rest of your live.
You can always use Pobox with your own domain.
This way, there is no ptoblem if you want to close your Pobox account.
As for me, I use a Pobox domain for the last 15 years and will continue doing so.
