On page 2 of [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=97411), **astorian** committed a significant breach of courtesy by posting what I have to assume was meant to be posted to another thread. I would never suggest that another poster’s post be deleted, but I’m trying to think of possible ways to mend fences. Would it be possible for a mod to edit the post so that the text appears in the same gray color as the background? And maybe even post a note to the effect that “Well-intentioned spoilers would do well to leave the wackos of the 24 Club to their own devices”? I’m just thinking out loud here. ---

Sounds like a spoiler about a TV show was posted in a thread that asked “Please! No spoilers!” When I get home tonight I will notify the Cafe Society moderators of this delicate situation. Or you could e-mail them yourself. ---

Thanks, **Arnold**. I e-mailed them yesterday. No action has been taken, yet. I’m sure we’ll survive this. Knowing how I am with “unexpected” plot twists, hell, I might even have seen it coming. It’s just a shame is all. Mostly, it’s **Munch** I’m worried about. He’s just a kid after all and is still impressionable. 😃 And **astorian** hasn’t even felt it necessary to apologize. ☹ ---

I took a dull axe to \*\*astorian’\*\*s post. Everybody happy now? And quit rilin’ up **UncleBeer** , his blood pressure’s high enough already. ---

**Uke** , you’re a prince among moderators. Above and beyond the call of duty, that was. I hereby award you the 24 Club Oak Leaf Cluster for Conspicuous Gallantry. ---
