This policy has much to recommend it. I tend to prefer to err on the side
of too much spoiler space rather than too little; my fingers aren't going
to be damaged by hitting return a bunch of times, whereas someone's
enjoyment of a book could be seriously ruined by spoilers. So what's the
objection to having the space? If there are people out there who are just
too lazy to scroll down to where the text starts, I have absolutely no
sympathy for them.
