Jenny, it's also about credibility.
While "Jewel"'s story might be in fact accurate, experience has told me (and a bunch of other people, I can see!) that when you start seeing multiple email addresses and multiple submits, you are likely seeing the edge of the iceberg. You can sink it now, or have them take you for a traffic ride later.
Many people prey on the fact that the majority of link sites don't go back and recheck listed sites very often. They want to get listed, and then pull the site and send 100% of the traffic to a sponsor.
The use of multiple email is to make it harder for link sites to kill off all their sites in one shot. You actually have to do a little research then to swat them all.
Thankfully, most of these people make basic errors in their approach, and with chat boards like this, ICQ, AIM, and other tools, the word gets out pretty fast.
Trust me when I say, there are very organized groups, all over the world, working hard to find new ways to fuck link lists out of traffic and to screw the surfers around with CJs, console hells, scumware, and more. It's VERY sad.
