I agree completely. The whole concept of having people "register" to 
send email is absurd - just as it would be to have people "register" to 
send snail mail, or to walk up and ring your doorbell. Its an amazing 
solopsistic solution - if the whole world will just take some time to 
fill out this form, then I won't get any more spam. . . . sheesh. When 
a "service" based on such a stupid concept sends me back repeated 
emails, its just as annoying as "real" spam.

If people can use that service without making any mistakes, then more 
power to them, but anyone who creates this kind of crap - even from 
oversight - should be dropped from the list immediately.
