That is probably the worst possible solution.  Every time you upgrade Joomla you will have to remember to hack those files again.

Hello everyone:

I am happy to announced that I successfully hacked my Joomla CMS
      site concerning the email account field in the user.

It is admittedly crazy but I succeeded and of course, I saved a
      copy of the original php files that were hacked. 

It was both the forms.php in .../user/tmpl folder and default.php
      in ... /users/tmpl that needed adjustments.


Thank You for all the feedback.

        replied that he "had enough to do when entering each user" and
        would prefer if the email field was not even on the form.
