Why it's another ipods.freepay spammer. Personally, I'm harboring
serious thoughts of actually giving this thing a whirl, but even
according to those who've admitted to trying it 1) it's a royal pain;
2) they're actually behind the curb trying to keep up with demand -
they've actually resorted to gift certificates in lieu of the iPods,
and there's no word that these are as easily transferable as cash; and
3) freepay has the right to unilaterally raise the number of e-mail
referrals you need to get an iPod.

actually, you have to get dsotol01@hotmail.com an iPod first. Though
his e-mail is termed in ways of how you, the reader can get an iPod,
this is all about us registering as referrees for his iPod.
