The Spoiler Protocol

     The easy thing to do is decide that "spoilers" that come in sections 
     that have been covered by the upcoming M&DM&D aren't spoilers -- no 
     matter that several of us won't be so far into the book as the group.
     
     But that would still mean "spoiler" warnings into Winter, maybe even 
     to Advent.

Doesn't the real issue boil down to deciding *when* to stop using the 
official spoiler protocol?  Judging from current posts, "now" is almost 
certainly too soon.   I'd think that the randomly chosen date of, oh I 
dunno, June 16 might be more realistic.  Does anyone want it to apply after 
that date?
     
Doesn't mean that "spoiler warnings" and the like might not still be 
welcome for real M&D biggies, like the moment when
