I thought that was pretty clear and large. Enough for me to close the window. What gets me are the people who write blithely along "blah, blah, blah (spoiler) blah, blah, blah..." and give you no opportunity not to see it

I don't know how else to say it.

The common courtesy is to put spoiler aler in the Subject line.

Then I wouldn't have opened the post at all which guarantees that I don't read it.

You don't know how else to say it? Why do you feel compelled to say anything again? I understood you perfectly. You offered your opinion, and I offered mine. Neither is correct. We disagree.

>> NOT helpful.

what are you talking about? (s)he put SPOLIER ALERT in big letters ABOVE the spoiler. this clued me in that what was below contained a spoiler. how did this not work out for you?

Everything is there on my screen to see.

The thing that most people do is put the spoiler alert in the subject.

the big block letters informing me there would be spoilers below seemed sufficient.

It wasn't for me.

I read the whole thing.

Again, the commom courtesy that I have seen is to put spoiler alert in the Subject line.

you continued to read anyway (in spite of the SPOILER ALERT BELOW in big block letters and the white space he provided by hitting return) but somehow he did something inappropriate?

Since I'm not seeing it for a couple more weeks, I just stopped reading when I hit the words "SPOILER ALERT."
