Is there any way to make EMail address an optional field for site registration (DNN 4.8)?

Humm ... that's too bad. Any idea why? I understand some reasons why it would be required (password reminders, newsletter bulk mailings to registered users, etc)...but is there any good reason anyone is aware of why it's a strict required field?

Optional EMail address is a site requirement in my case ... I could crack open the code/stored procs involved to determine where this is enforced - but what sort of trouble could I get into with site functionality?

Any insite would be helpful!

Thanks...

Any idea why email address is a strict registration requirement?

I understand that email password reminders, and bulk email (newsletterss) to registered users are two examples where it is used...but any other good reasons?

The site I'm working on has EMail as optional...so as to not intimidate people from signing-up...for privacy etc - so, I could crack open the code and or stored proc where this is enforced and adjust per my requirment...but will these lead to any big problems within the site?

Thanks for any insight available out there...
