Sure, this could be some hair-brained scheme to

have a bot subscribe to the list and then suck all the e-mail addresses
that come through. Posing a very legitimate sounding question to get
e-mail addresses seems like a huge waste of time, even for lowly losers
like spammers who have no lives nor penes (<-- plural form of "penis"...I
had to look it up. "Penises" is also acceptable but how many chances do
you get to use the obscure plural form of "penis"?)
Why is there a plural anyhow? As far as I know you only get *one* per
customer. :)
