I think you're right -- removing it may be best, and I wouldn't miss it if it
were gone. It doesn't get used often, and it would do just as well to give an
email link there. As to its purpose/intention, it just happened to be an easy
thing to do, given some other stuff at a lower level that was there (CLSotW
input uses the same input mechanism). This was feeping creaturitis, I think,
falling into the category of "just because was extremely easy to implement
doesn't mean that was necessarily a wise idea." I think at the time I also
was wanting to avoid giving an e-mail link for spam harvesting reasons, but
spammers know how to send mail to foo@yourdomain.com anyway, so that's kinda
a moot issue.
Thanks for the suggestion -- I changed the page to an e-mail link -- no more
form.
