You'll still have the "hot seat" problem, even if you do this.  And people 
will validly say that they didn't know.  What I mean is, if I'm on the 
computer and get up and leave, and someone else comes along, s/he can 
continue on from where I was....and honestly never have seen the "click 
here I agree" screen.  Yes, you could set a short timeout, but even that 
wouldn't solve it.
