Comment on Microsoft updates their Terms of Service to an easily readable Q&A format

This is anything by easily readable. Ugh. And its not even internally consistent - somewhere down the scroll, the questions fade away and are replaced by the same old lawyer-ism that characterizes most TOS.

I recently re-wrote ours to be more useful and I can't help thinking that whomever did this was rushed and/or got bored or over-challenged by the task about half-way through and just published an incomplete draft. A for effort, C- in execution.

Some day I'll understand the real connection between what I write and how people mod it.

I was really just trying to say that I didn't think at all that it was a very readable document and that if you read through it, the whole "Starts with a question" mode faded away somewhere in the first 1/3 to 1/2 of the document - leaving just a regular old TOS to follow.
