This is in the past, well over a month old and thus irrelevant in
internet time. The recent threads about Gmail are interested in
the today, not the past. Please quit mentioning the past :)
> While I am not required to provide an email
This 'secondary email' is optional and located on this first signup page:
https://mail.google.com/mail/signup
> phone number, when I complete the form (entering name and
> desired login, password, etc, and click "submit"
The SMS verification stage (phone number requirement[1]) location
occurs only after you hit submit above.

Yes, I have seen this three times. Each time I just cleared state,
MAPADDRESS'd another exit, randomized info and tried again.
Only to receive account creation failure of course.
I've also been seeing a lot of SSL failures with sites recently.
Sorry, since it's SSL, I've just been hitting retry instead of
tracking it down. That's my bad for you all.
> tor button
Can't say that I use it. Very unlikely.

I'd go that route. I don't see any conflict between the two, when
done properly.
[1] According to this months urban legend, two people have found
this to not be a requirement. However, for all practical purposes,
percent sucess wise, it probably should be considered to be one.
