    Hunt says there are 31 million unique email addresses in the database

    I cannot imagine there are nearly that many individuals with an Internet Archive account. Is there any reason that an average user would need to create an account in the first place? And would someone need to create multiple?

        No, there are just extra features if you are signed in
