They should know from your credentials which you are. It can't be too difficult to look at their own list of emails to see if you match and if not try AOL. It reminds me of credit card forms that have me say what kind of card I'm using and then the number. Anyone can look at the first number(s) of a credit card to get the type (Visa = 4, MasterCard = 5, Amex =34/37, Discover = 6011, etc.). Why is it important to introduce additional fields that seem to have no purpose beyond increasing the likelihood of an error?
