I'm not the spokesman of People&Computers, but if I was asked to guess
why they need it, I could guess easily:

This is the only UNIQUE number, that EACH of us has, and NEVER changes
(contrary to e-mail).

In the past, when you registered, any small change caused your record
to duplicate. For example, in my case it caused me to "appear" 4 or 5
times in their database.

So they started to require the ID and use it as the UNIQUE KEY of their
database, and this problem has been solved.
