Comment:

 Terms of service may contain all sorts of crazy language promising your
 first born children to the site operator.  That does not necessarily mean
 that you agreed to them, that they are theoretically enforceable, or that
 a court would agree to such an egregious interpretation of a specific
 clause, in the unlikely event that the matter was litigated and the
 overall document TOS happened to be an agreed-to and enforceable contract
 in some specific circumstances.

 If we let concerns like this overwhelm us, the Web would not exist today.
