A waste of *computing* resources yes. But not a waste of development
resources, because it's already done. (reuse what exists before embarking on
development of new, unless there is some huge reason not to reuse (1) )
Note that the current script isn't restricted to members only and doesn't
force you to include a real verifiable email. But that hasn't been a problem
for me so far.
I say try it, get the functionality in front of folks, see if it works out
or not, and if it is worth doing over again then do it better. But this gets
function fast.(2) Your proposal is certainly more elegant.(3)
