Re: OT: "I don't see why..."



On listmom's question as to why I deleted the post:

Because the people who get daily digests would otherwise see the
(improperly-headed) spoiler post before they saw blinviz's warning not
to read it. Since allegedly it didn't use a proper heading and/or
spoiler space (I just deleted it sight unseen), the unspoiled wouldn't
have a chance to employ the "If you don't want to know, don't read"
rule.

In addition, some of those members who do not take any emails from the
list may well read the messages in chronological order, and likewise hit
the spoiler before they get to the warning a few messages down the road. 

So deletion seemed like the best option there. 

However, as I should have mentioned, any member whose is deleted is
perfectly welcome to repost it with the appropriate headings and Spoiler
Space. Actually, now that I think of it, I could perhaps have edited
the post and done this myself, except that I would have had to scroll
upward from the bottom of the post to edit it, and it would have been
tricky to do so without accidentally seeing something possibly spoilery.
But perhaps I should have tried.

In any event, reposts with proper Spoiler Warnings and spacing are
always welcome.

Apologies to listmom if I overreacted or failed to explain properly.
