It is good. Unfortunately, what you discover is that about... 5%, I'd
say, of your users don't know what their email address is!
As they say, when you make something idiot-proof, you're actually making
better idiots.
Part of this is sometimes email addresses change behind the scenes-
Gwinnett County schools have so many accounts that they are going to
first_middle_last@ to get unique names, and even that doesn't work all
the time, I hear.
