Hijacked account?

Hello
 
Just wondering what happened if an account goes Guest for whatever reason, can anyone take over the account by just registering with the same user name?
 
Then why all the old posts get changed to the new ID ?
 
What happened to PMs ? Would the new owner of the username be able to access the previous account owners messages?  
 
I thought only the person with the same password and ISP would be able to change the account from Guest to Newbie and be able to have all the old posts changed to the new ID?
 
Just suggesting to the webmaster that maybe this option be looked at so that old accounts that have gone guests will not be "hijacked" in such a manner.
 
Thank you very much.
