Time to lift the "spoiler" warning

I never really understood why everyone got so heated up about this topic
in the first place. As if anyone could possibly "spoil" the enjoyment of
reading the beast in the first place. I mean, it's not like hearing the
final score to a basketball game you've taped and are driving home to
watch, is it? A-and who's gonna say "Time's Up!"? 

Unless someone can explain how they could read through someone's message,
ever vigilant for a possible "spoiler" and--whammo--still become the
unwilling recipient of an event or subject in M&D they weren't prepar'd
to hear, I
say:

Aye Aye!
