Host ,'Why We Fight'
A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

I read them, too. And I like them (the million-posts-in-a-row that screamed 'GILES!' last season, for example).
Then again, I'm the only-read-episodes-descriptions kind of spoiled, who gets the 'feel' of an episode from the boards, since I have to wait for a tape-fairy magic in order to actually watch anything. Obviously, I'm pretty alone in that, so I won't be surprised to find I'm in the minority in reading those posts, too.
I enjoy reading them after the fact as well.
What's the problem, that West Coasters don't want to be spoiled by ongoing East Coaster discussion? Could white font work?
Yeah, I sometimes watch and post, as an East Coaster, but sometimes am tape delayed, but go back and read them anyway, cause it's interesting to see how and what people reacted to...
OTOH, I can see how I would want to watch-and-post as a west coaster, so I don't see why we couldn't have an extra thread--we have a Canadian thread, why not? Though I guess it would be two or THREE extra threads (Angel and Firefly too)? That might get excessive, hmmm....
Could white font work?
I think that'd drive you Easties crazy, wouldn't it?

We're just grumpy 'cause we can't play, but I find I'm happy with watch, post, catch up.
So, you get all my unfiltered-unsorted what I thought commentary in a big lump.
I think we're fine as-is, myself.
And I love the watch n' post.
I usually watch and post, but I always go back and read it if I am on tape delay.
White font would drive me crazy, yes. Not so much to read, as I am in Opera, but to remember to do. Also, we might all still be talking WHILE the west coasters are watch and posting, which would be just weird.
I think separate watch and post topics would eventually become duplicate main show topics. It's not like everyone will always just switch to the main show topic for more indepth discussion & analysis after the watching and posting is over.
I like the watch-and-post sections, I just wait till I've seen the episode on tape before I go through it. It's lots of fun to try and figure out what people are watching when.
I'm willing, as a west-coaster, to live with the fact that I'm never gonna watch-and-post. Of course, I also have the television and the computer in completely separate rooms of the house, so it's not really an option anyway.
Just part of the tax I pay to have mellow mild winters and dry sunny summers. *grin*
As a west coaster, I love to read the east coast watch and post, and the other folks who do their "watch and post" all in one post.
I don't often get to watch in the same room as my computer, so watching and posting would be out for me anyway - ok, I guess it would be more of an issue if I was a more prolific poster.
Well - that is my 2 cents as a committed lurker...
