I was thinking of something like the Account Termination footnote above
just maybe cleaned up a little? I agree, a long-winded, legalese type
doc would be overkill and against our general principles as a project. I
think a general this-is-how-we-play-well-with-others paragraph and if
you don't play well with others, we will be throwing you to the lions
type thing...

I just thought the short paragraph about account termination sort of
appears out of nowhere with no background..If it's just me being odd, so
be it... :)
