I just used the spoiler tag for TMI in [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2145072#post2145072) thread.

Would it be terribly difficult to modify the code so that instead of “Spoiler:” it says “TMI:”? The tags could be [tmi] [/tmi].

Just a thought.

Thanks

That is not its intended use.

That’s what’s great about our members - they’re always thinking! 😉 But your arguments, however persuasive they are, have failed to convince me.

Oh, erislover, I think I have something for you.

That’s actually a great idea – and very tastefully employed in the linked thread.
