Tell me I am not the only one. I am neither illiterate nor blind. I worked as a legal clerk before. I am pretty good with words. BUT I NEVER READ THE FINE PRINTS.
Do you? Or do you just blindly click the buttons like :
* I accept
* I am over 18 years old (and can surf XXX sites LOL)
* I have read the rules and regulations;
and etc
This morning, I woke up and found Paul on MSN telling this Ah Soh that I am not supposed to say ‘Click on my adsense’ because Google can ban my account. Thank you, Paul. When I get my USD100, I will belanja you, ok? Maybe by then, you will be old enough to get a credit card and doesn’t need belanja anymore.
OK, what I am curious to find out is do you all read every fine prints, rules, regulations, conditions? Say for e.g you sign up for Yahoo, Google, MSN free services etc., do you know what you are ‘I agree’ to? I did not even read Google Adsense rules. I just buta-buta sign up.
Is this a sign of ignorance, laziness or just plain dumb Ah Soh’s traits? Please tell me I am not the only one.

Well, I do read every line if that service is vital, like hosting services.
However, services like Hotmail, Yahoo Mail and Gmail, I just glance through.
I’m aware of all those fine prints, just to avoid been sued. :p

and also ‘don’t click your own adsense’.
and also ‘wash your feet b4 you sleep’.

So far, I signed up for 20 mail accounts, I didn’t read any rules and reglations. First is because they are waste of time, second, I think we won’t offend any of the rules and regulation by criticize them or copyright them, and third, when I signed up for my Japan Yahoo mail account, I can’t even understand a single of the word. All in Japanese. So, I signed up buta-ly
