See, there always has to be an ass-cover note in any user agreement. However I appreciate tremendously that Google chose to word it as "it's the Internet, sparky-- eye-bleach-inducing nightmare fuel is part of the experience" as opposed to the typical "well, our terms of service, *cough* forbid posting obscene or offensive materials *cough* NOTOURFAULT *cough* so, *cough* ONYOUROWN *cough* if someone sees something they don't like, well, we did say you couldn't."

In my defense, I was doing it to see if they put in one of those "oh and we now own the copyright to all your email" clauses, but I found it was limited to "we reserve the right to show off your email as an example of how great our services are" so I feel pretty secure that they're not going to go suing me for publishing books of comics I've emailed at some point.

But yeah point taken -___-
