[joomla] Email verification during Joomla Registration (brynk)

Sue,

"yes", one of the first things I said to the client was to just enter a 
dummy email that points to a non-existing domain. He replied that he 
"had enough to do when entering each user" and would prefer if the email 
field was not even on the form.

This will be my fallback if all else fails and really does seem to be 
the sane and logical approach.

Thank You
Bob Rynkiewicz
