Which is just the sort of thing I wanted to hear!  But dangit, can sites stop 
using ridiculous account policies?

http://www.pobox.com/chromeless/user_agreement.html
"The customer shall not transmit or receive any threatening, harassing, libelous 
or obscene material. The Customer shall not transmit or receive any material 
which is deemed illegal by any local, state, federal, or international law."

Transmit is bad enough.  RECEIVE?!?  How am I supposed to control what is sent 
to me?  Why should I care if what I'm sending violates the laws of another 
country?

Sheesh.

I'm going to take a look at their service, but they're off to a bad start 
already.
