I have to agree - IMO confirmation fields for email addresses do
not help anything.

The address is already checked for validity, but there's no way to
check for a typo of course.

Balaji actually went ahead and did this, but I'm going to close it as
WONTFIX - I appreciate it can happen, but IMO an email confirmation field
wont stop this.  Thanks for the suggestion Balaji, but I don't think there
is any real way to prevent or typos on the server side.

Pls do let me know if you need any help updating/deleting/creating any
accounts.
