J1.7.2 and VM2 subrelease K

On the product flypage, the Recommend button (to email a friend a link to the product) makes you log in.   This does not happen in VM1.  Sorry if this is not a bug... if this expected behavior, how do I disable it?

But I would suspect the desired behavior would be to be able to Recommend to A Friend without having to register or log in.

I still have this problem with subrelease M. 
I apologize if this is a Joomla question

Sorry I hadnt time yet to look after it. Shouldnt be a joomla problem, but cant imagine why this happens.
Should I fix your bug, please support the VirtueMart project and become a member

In order to reduce the spamming use of the recommend facility it makes sense to me if people have to be logged in to use it. Maybe it needs a switch.   (  http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=72804.0  )

Thank you for the link to the security issue, I hadn't thought of that. 

But even if you have to login, can't a spammer just quickly create a fake account and login and begin spamming?
