It seems that the concensus is in. Some people hate to know the ending,
and some people don't mind.
This seems to present a simple solution, if you are going to tell the plot
then please include a warning ("spoiler" seems as good a name as any, as long
as it is understood). If you don't mind reading a "spoiler" then you are
free to read it, but if you do not like to read "spoilers" then you are free
to skip it.
I believe no one's rights are infinged, and all should be happy. The only
person who can really gripe is the one who doesn't want to put a spoiler
warning on because it will wear out their poor little fingers.
So what's the problem? It seems to be merely common courtesy. Perhaps we
on this list can revitalize an ailing trait.
Please?
