I don't think I was clear in expressing things this way.  What I meant
was, around here at any rate, 'either' is more often used for
emphasis that you can have x or y (but not both).  If there is no
particular emphasis, the 'either' usually gets dropped.

But it would not surprise me to find out that this is regional.
