[OT] Validating Email Addresses...

[Jim Carwardine]

It's of little value, agreed, and would be eliminated if they opt to not do
it, which I would consider a good thing.

The deal is, I give you something you value, you give me something I value,
a business relationship is struck and a small deal is made.

Lying to me and taking my stuff is not the basis of a good relationship.

Perhaps there is a better way of presenting this deal, without using the
word "free"...

My question is still about the best way to legitimize their email address...
