launchpad registration broken

[Chris Garcia]

Okay. We're talking about gmail here. You're telling me I can't use gmail
with Launchpad?  Because of some x-headers? Thank you, Curtis. I appreciate
your letting me know what's going on. I'm going to go process that, and when
the time is right, I'm going to create another email address, point it at my
gmail account, and start participating in Launchpad. But right now I can't
because I'm just dumbfounded.

"The Brescian monk, Francesco de Lana-Terzi, was the first person to
unambiguously propose that human ascent could be achieved by using the
lighter-than-air principle. However, he made no attempt to construct his
'flying boat' -- literally a wooden boat designed to be lifted by four
hollow spherical vessels. Instead of floating in air, de Lana became filled
with inner heaviness. He believed his application was immoral and would be
prevented by the Creator." --Graham Dorrington
