    No - sorry, it isn't, Unless you want to consider any offer of 'Hey -
    anybody want an "X"? I got a free one" to also be spam.

    On the Linux user groups email lists I inhabit this type of thing goes
    on all the time and it is welcome.

    Frankly its just being friendly and acting in the sprirt of this
    overall, very helpful and open community - The Fedora email list.

    Pray, please continue.

    Further more, Google is, in its own way, a Linux entity and its
    activities are almosty always of interest to Linux email lists, at least
    as much as the history of the fax is anyway.
