Ahh... I misunderstood the description.  I haven't actually used it myself
but assumed it worked exactly as the custom plugin I use (which is simular
to New User Wizard now that I go back and search).  It completely locks
them out until enterng the info.  I don't like to leave it as an option
since I have to answer the support emails on why their mail is being sent
out as "nobody".  And since we use virtual hosts, and our username is the
same as the email address, it also forces their username as their outgoing
email address, and I disable identities.

My mistake, I'll research a little deeper next time.
