No problem.

Just since writing these last 2 emails on this thread, 2 Brazilian antispam
mails arrived that seem to be part of this thread. This is very odd. There
seem to be a lot of spammers on this list. I use this account only for
redhat, nowhere else, and have never mentioned it anywhere else and my
spambox is filled to overflowing with mostly Chinese spam since I have
registered with this redhat list. My other gmail accounts never receive any
at all and they are known in some yahoo forums.
