it's also spam.  if i posted to this list, selling the amazing robco 
combination embedded linux graphical debugger and nose hair trimmer, 
whether or not you took me up on the offer would be just as 
"voluntary".  and it would be just as much spam as mr. hess' initial 
email.

if people in the linux community really want gmail accounts, i'm sure 
they can figure out where to get them without having the offer show up 
completely off-topic in a fedora list.
