While the topic of spoiler spacing is being bandied about, I'm reminded of the absolute dumbest case I've ever seen of a group trying to enforce it. Back in the old days of the Internet (say around '92-'93), I was following various Usenet newsgroups and remember people on the newsgroup for The Prisoner being militant about not revealing spoilers about a TV show that had ended 25 years earlier. I nearly blew a gasket. As for this group, I'd say that we should have spoiler space for any new book until it's been out in paperback for a year. After that readers of this list would just have to accept that this is a discussion group for Brust readers and if you haven't caught up, then you might get spoiled.
