I'm curious, Risker: if you don't mind my asking, what about being required
to supply a throwaway email address would have discouraged you from opening
a Wikimedia account?
Having the email address attached to my account means that i can do
password reset, which has been rather helpful on a number of occasions.
It's a bit sad for folks who don't provide email, that there's not much we
can do to help them recover their account if they forget their password.
I understand that it can be a bit scary to have to provide this information
(what about a throwaway?), but yet is a tradeoff.
Cheers,
Katie
