Trust creates relationship. I first read about Juno's new service agreement in an online newsletter, and was so taken aback by the wording that I assumed it was some kind of Internet prank that had slipped through the editor's sensibility filter. IMO, for all practical purposes, people who use Juno's free web services are essentially agreeing to have their computers infected by a potentially deadly virus. No doubt, Juno is banking on the vast majority of its users never even hearing about these requirements, much less understanding them. I'll continue to pay for my Internet service, thank you.
