+    This is usually what you would want to happen, but in the unlikely case
+    that you do <em>not</em> want to be logged back in, for example if you need
+    to switch accounts, you should go to Google (or Gmail, etc.), log out there
+    and sign into a different account before returning to a Guardian tool.
