Note that just because other systems do something doesn't mean that we're going
to do it. I see potential security issues in so many other systems that I use
routinely. 

And in the case of using additional match points, that involves capturing and
storing more personal information as well, which then leads to increased risk
to users in the event that there is a leak. 

But if you can articulate things a bit more clearly perhaps we can look at it a
bit more.
