What P-C said is true of every episode.
What I gathered from his post was that there was something revealed in Safety Canary that shed light on the prior episodes.
Do we usually whitefont references to commentary that have nothing to do with the show itself?
I don't think we HAVE to (not in the spoiler policy IIRC), but if it's a funny or cute thing that people might want to see for themselves, I would do it. That's why I said "ridiculously anal".
re: FF - I know it's fair game, but it's not that hard to whitefont major plot spoilers. See "anal" above.
ETA I tend to err on the side of caution in regards to whitefont, so it's OK with me if Buffista policy is more liberal than my personal creed. Do we spell it out (beyond anything unaired etc. in NAFDA) anywhere for the mostly-on-DVD shows such as FF and WF?
Everywhere, or just NAFDA?
Should be everywhere -- not only is the show not this season, the DVDs have been out for over a year by now.

Should we also avoid blackfonting any potentially funny or cute but not plot-related quotes from print/web interviews with cast & crew? What Caroline said wouldn't have been spoilery past the first 10 minutes of the premiere broadcast.
Things that are fair game really shouldn't be whitefonted, because that leads to madness.

I should hope not.

Ahh, OK. I didn't read it that way.
Question (and I hope it isn't an inappropriate one)...
CalGal claims that the people on TPW have purchased $150,000 (over 18 months) from links from her site and she gets some kind of commission from that. Does anyone know what the total is for buffistas?

Speaking without all the info, but probably very little. Calgal markets their affiliate links very aggressively -- she posts ads in threads, and has content related ads in sidebars. Plus, I think, if you want to publish a link to Amazon, for instance, you can automatically TPWize it and have the affiliate code added to it.
If we took on an effort like that, it would be a shift in board culture, but it certainly seems a viable approach for applicable boards, if managed well.
That reminds me -- are we still doing okay financially?
Yep, we're A-OK. I.e., have a year's worth of hosting money sitting in the bank.

Oh, no. Jon's right. I just meant that for each individual episode, on the rewatch, you know what the muses were really referring to.
