That is probably the worst possible solution. Every time you upgrade Joomla you will have to remember to hack those files again.

Hello everyone:
I am happy to announced that I successfully hacked my Joomla CMS
site concerning the email account field in the user.
It is admittedly crazy but I succeeded and of course, I saved a
copy of the original php files that were hacked.
It was both the forms.php in .../user/tmpl folder and default.php
in ... /users/tmpl that needed adjustments.
Thank You for all the feedback.

enter a dummy email that points to a non-existing domain. He
replied that he "had enough to do when entering each user" and
would prefer if the email field was not even on the form.
