I realize I’m bucking the trend here by **not** posting a thread about the switchover to extor-er fees (😉 Just kidding, guys.), and I’ll try not to let it happen again, but I just got the ol “Reply to Post” email which contains the _entire_ post, including the text which was placed _within_ the spoiler tag. This means, had someone posted to that thread, but didn’t want to read the spoilers, they’d wind up with 'em in plain sight anyway, and we _know_ how folks like to complain about spoilers, so, um, you might want to look into that.
