I believe Anthony had agreed to use a different email address because several people complained that his previous one was confusing. This should probably be allowed. I don't know whether he was thinking about the moderation of his messages, but if moderation is still deemed appropriate, it should be easy enough to apply it to the new address and treat the one-time circumvention as inadvertent.

Confirmed, I talked to Anthony about it and it was seemingly a good-faith change (he thought, that all new email adresses would be moderated per default anyway).
Sorry for the accusations, I withdraw them.
It really looked as if it was an attempt to circumvent a moderation (which is not unheard of either...). I thought that if he had wanted to just change the address, he would have changed the address in the options instead of subscribing with a new one.
Anyway, nothing to see here, move on...
