My take on spoiler space: There's some big things that I think should be permanently spoiler-spaced. Examples include the point of Agyar, the Big Secret (and maybe the Little Secret) at the end of Orca, and Lady Teldra in Issola. Things that aren't quite so earthshattering can probably be despoilered after, say, a month or two in paperback. This is how I'll be doing it, at least; since I buy the hardbacks (one of the perks of working in a bookstore) I probably won't get hit with any spoilers myself, however people choose to do them. ---- "I can't think of much worse than spending a lifetime doing something that isn't what you want to do." --Neil Gaiman, 2003-05-18
