Yep, me. I have an increasingly large pile of book reviews by my desk (and
a large folder in my computer) which I'll read after finishing Mason & Dixon.

After which, I'll probably read Mason & Dixon again. <g>

PS - I don't find it particularly annoying to hit PgDn to read the body of
spoiler messages that aren't spoiler messages for me (since up past the
spoiler page). It's certainly easier skipping past a blank space than
skipping past overly-quoted prior message bodies!
