That was my only thought to why it was setup that way. My feeling is that
the form validation routine should be the one determining if a field is
required and error when empty and if not empty do the test using the
validation function.
But I guess that is the way it is so I won't fight it.
Thanks for the reply!

It isn't a valid email, but think about it from a perspective of
using that set of methods, not just the one.
How else would we have 2 different messages, one for being empty and
another for not being a validly formatted email address?
