Spoiled
A favor, please? Or at least a suggestion. It's awfully annoying scrolling through all that SPOILER SPACE stuff, plus it takes up space in the archives, which can be hard to load as it is. Can we just be grown-ups and assume that anyone reading the Whorl list right now has to assume caveat lector (hmm, that's not quite right, is it, maybe postor would be more like it?) . -alga *This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun.

I've been including the spoiler space because everybody else has and nobody's objected till now, but I'm dubious of its utility. It's useless for those who get the digest, unless it's in the final message of the digest; and on my email program at least, those who get individual messages are safe as long as there's a spoiler warning in the subject line. Is there anyone out there who hasn't read IGJ and finds the extra layer of protection given by the spoiler space vital? --Adam *This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun.
