[microsound] Contracts full of eels

[Set Hallstrom]

I for one am super happy about this awakening!
Some people do cross words, other do sudoku, i read ToS. And so in 2012
after spending 8 hours reading the ToS, I deactivated my facebook (yeah,
deletion is impossible). Afterards I couldn't sleep for weeks, thinking
of all the people i had recruited for them out of sole desire to share
my music.

I haven't looked back, my website is alive again, and there are plenty
of really fun places out here in cyberspace!

I might participate in this Topic, probably reading the Contract Full of
Eels that Facebook is ruled by.

Yours,
Set
