Okay, so, during the summer, I forgot *just* how spoilery the TV Guide episode blurbs are. Again, mea culpa.

So maybe the *general* TV Guide info, but not what's on the show pages?

Dear sweet lord. I have to spam everyone I know with the weeble pie link.

I also vote for "When Come Back Bring Tape"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Should there be an announcement in Press?

I don't know if this is BBB or here, but is there a way to make the NAFDA stand out on NAFDA threads?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That's probably only something a totally spoiled person could answer.

Most of the hardcore spoiled people consider the spoiler lite to be an impossible-to-pin-down zone. So many slippery slopes. So I would recommend that people be aggressive with the white font, that casting spoilers be the only thing that are discussed outright, that people link (really one of the best ways to maintain a balance), and that people note what kind of spoiler they're whitefonting. Plus, a big Caveat Lector at the top should be emphasized.

Yup. That's it exactly.

Our wings are not tired.

It would seem that the definition of lite spoilage is as complex as defining porn. Each person has some things they would like to be spoiled for and stuff not. The whitefonting with big descriptors helps. Yet peoople will still read the whitefont and then complain.

Yeah, and different people come across different things. There's a Certain Large Spoiler that a lot of people have seen by accident in magazines and things, but I never would have stumbled across it, if I hadn't been looking. I don't read those magazines. So, if no one had said anything about this Huge Spoiler You Can't Avoid, I bet I would have just been surprised by it. Instead I went looking for it.
