I can certainly see why this would be an advantageous feature & relationship for you. And I love the idea that you can sign up from this site and that Jelsoft gets a finders fee. However, you really should provide a local way to do this. In this day and age, not providing the option makes you reek of big brother and it seems strange that you wouldn't expect a backlash. This private information really has no business being in your databases/logs.

I'm not upset as I won't likely ever use the feature. However, so very rarely do you guys do something that wouldn't make me proud of your product, I thought it worthy of a reply.
