I guess they want to avoid/discourage spammers.
Of course, this system is not fool-proof, but I guess it's better than
other free web-based mail accounts.
On my hotmail account, even before I _ever_ used the email address, I had
received several mails in which products were offered to enhance certain
parts of my anatomy that need no enhancement whatsoever (some because I
generally associate said body parts with women, others because my wife
likes me just the way I am ;-)
On GMail, I've yet to receive my first spam message...

RE: Gmail invites (was: I Love GMail!)
The thing I don't understand is why doesn't gmail just allow people to
sign
up from the main page? They are really into viral marketing this tooling.
