    Email required field

    I'm tired of passing my email to every place that I buy from.
    I don't need an email from Cabelas every day to entice me to shop,or remind me there still in business.
    if I'm competent enough to buy from someone once, I can do it again.
    Good grief.

    I think they want to be able to contact you if their warehouse goes on strike or something, plus if you want to receive a tracking number, it'll be necessary. But maybe you want to go with the store pickup option (BPS and likely Cabela's)...I think Dick's will do that also, but I've never used that feature anywhere. I think it makes sense for fishing rods, FWIW.

    I have a second for those times. I check it if i am expecting something on a one time basis. Eliminates a lot of spam. If it is that important send me a snail mail letter.

    Absolutely! Throw user names and passwords in for anything done online and it gets to be too much.
