Simply put, it is bonded, but it cannot be counted as a required electrode.

Dspark,
What I'm wondering is the ramifications of possible current flowing on the gas line that is bonded as opposed to if it is used as an grounding electrode. Bonding it makes it part of the grounding electrode system. So, if the reason it is not allowed to be an electrode is to minimize the likelihood of current flowing on it, so gas workers don't get zapped, doesn't bonding it defeat this.
