Is that really useful, considering how easy it is to set up a yahoo/hotmail/gmail/whatever else account?

Hi Kent,
[snip]
I apologize if this is really off topic for this list -- but you kind of brought up the subject by assuming that Mischa was against 'open' editing. I don't know what his wiki is about or what his policies are, but I don't think enforcing a valid email address conflicts with 'open editing.'
I am running different wiki's, one is more open then the other. But I would still like to know who is adding what and not just know their "nickname".
