Other readers' thoughts on that spoiler policy?
Can't you ever get your mind out of the hellmouth?
Buffy ,'Touched'
We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I say at least until after the paperback comes out. Not all of us can afford hardback prices.
I don't like paying hardback prices, so I'm on the wait list at the library. I should probably have the book and have read it within eight weeks at the latest. (It's a long wait list, but it's a big library.)
That said, I'd be willing to avoid the thread or skim until I had the book, rather than force whitefont forever.
Edit: The modified movies policy would work for me.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
And Steph is wrong. I think the HSQ in this one is going to be Ron shagging the hell out of Hermione, I do, I do.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Hell, I'll be happy if they get around to kissing, let alone shagging . I'm fine with the above-stated spoiler policy (although I'll have the book read by Sunday night, I'm sure!).

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
The policy works for me. I probably won't get my hands on a copy for at least a month or so.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I'm fine with this policy. I may or may not get a copy of HBP in the next month, but I'm not terribly concerned about getting spoiled for it if I don't read it by late August.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I am now very, very tempted to start spreading false HP6 spoilers across the 'net.

The policy works for me.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
This is cool. They're working 24/7 to get out the Braille HP6 edition - [link] . The "spoilers" at the end of the article are just current rumors.

move out and draw fire
Spoiler policy's good for me, although since my copy will hit the APO system on the 16th, and get to me maybe never, I'm probably just going to not read this thread once the post numbers start spiking. Because I compulsively highlight whitefont, whether I want to or not.
