I noticed some people talking about Star Trek III. I won't be able to see it for a while, if it doesn't say ***SPOILER*** on it, can I read it ??? -- ==> Ephrayim J. Naiman @ AT&T Information Systems Laboratories (201) 576-6259 Paths: [ihnp4, allegra, ...]!pegasus!naiman

I would recommend a general net.startrek policy for after June 1 (The Day), to be in effect for about a month. That'll give *everybody* time to see it... (1) Let's avoid subject lines that are giveaways in themselves... e.g, for ST2, an article "Why Did Spock Have To Die?" would ruin things for some people. (2) UNLESS the subject line specifically says <non-spoiler>, we can assume it IS a spoiler. After all, we're going to have LOTS of discussion on the plot once it's known. We're having plenty *before* it's (officially) known. Easy enough, and it'll help keep the suspense going for those who prefer it that way. (I succumbed to the temptation long ago, and avidly read the spoiler articles, myself.) -- Stewart Wiener / Princeton Univ.
