As a long time user I would oppose an "age" related test to invalidate 
emails.  Long time users are less likely to be spammers than new email 
sign ups.  That said, it does seem that we are getting quite a bit of 
spam from the Cygwin email list and it would be nice if something along 
the lines of email verification could be done to prevent this.
