Yikes! I'm a litigious jerk!

free speechCheck out Candleblog's incredibly draconian and horrible Terms of Use.  This is new with the theme I'm using.  I just discovered it linked way down in the footer in tiny gray type.  I'll be changing that document up a bit.  In the meantime, no "objectionable or offensive" content.  I'm looking at you, Zucker.  It's in the Terms of Use, so it's the law.

There's a Privacy Policy down there too that I've already made a couple of minor changes to, but I'm going to leave it alone otherwise.  It's not too bad. 

And in case anyone is wondering, I wrote up a commenting policy finally.  We're so official now!
