Hi,
This is a perception issue. Users have be conditioned against giving out email
addresses.
When then do so its just another place spammers can get to them... Forcing
people
top use an email address will keep users away from freenet. It does not matter
if its 'risk free' -
it will not be percieved as being so.
Bottom line. IMO this is a very bad idea to enforce.
