I'd rather we didn't complicate this newuser process.  It's not about
how much information we can collect or about customizing the information
we collect.  It's about collecting less information and making the
process of creating an account simpler and faster.  

In my opinion, if we do ask for optional information, it's good if we
do it directly.  Then people can ignore what they don't want to have
appearing on their accounts.
