And doesn't GD want the email you use to sign in with to be the same as on the whois? Indeed, does the GD info we have to give not pretty much give someone an easy way into our GD account?

It just seems that there should be a better level of security on the forums and on the registrars, esp. in light of the increased scamming and no chance of help from GD or PP after the fact. Is it just me, or is there a really big problem here? If it is a matter of using other email addresses on forum and registrar sign ins, we should make that really clear for people.

One paper thin email address that is used for overall communication is not a good level of security.
There is more involved then just an email address... Many have User Name, Password and so on.

Just do not use a Free Email service and that will help Greatly!
