2. Spoilers (rec.arts.sf.written)
In case you missed it above:
Many people feel that much of the enjoyment of a book is ruined if they
know certain things about it, especially when those things are surprise
endings or mysteries. On the other hand, they also want to know
whether or not a book is worth reading, or they may be following a
particular thread of conversation where such information may be
revealed. The solution to this is to put the words SPOILER in your
header, or in the text of your posting. You can also put a ctl-L
character in the *first* column for your readers who are using rn.
Some people think that spoiler warnings are not necessary. We don't
understand why, and do not want to discuss it. Use your best
judgment. [Provided by Evelyn Leeper [evelynleeper@geocities.com].]
