If there's no need for it, we should not be collecting the data. This 
will make sure
1) it's impossible for an attacker of our system to gain knowledge of
   the addresses,
2) we don't send any "click here to confirm" emails to anyone due to
   typos, or similar,
3) users have a better chance entrusting us with their data because we
   do not entice them to give us personal information.
