Is it REALLY so difficult to say in the subject line "PotD Spoilers"? I could give a flip about the 50 line spoiler space. I first look for "spoiler" in the subject line, and if that's not there I look w/i the text. If it says it has spoilers for something I haven't read yet, I delete it w/o even opening it. True, I might miss out on other related topics b/c people didn't change the subject line, but the way I see it is if they can't take the extra second it takes to change the line, it's not worth my time to read. Comments like this _almost_ make me want to use my few connections to try and get advance review copies, read it before it's released, then spoil everything. ****** NyteMuse "Call her life unnatural, feel her undead breath.
