I didn't mean to be rude or anything, but I consider anything more than what
TP or the publishing company wrote for advertising to be spoilers, and
personally I don't want to know ANYTHING about this book before cracking it
open. I wouldn't assume that just because there's "another level" (here,
I'll assume you mean a link to the story instead of a full quote/copy/paste
sent to the list), but I wouldn't assume that cause I'm new to this here
list and am quickly learning the local traditions.
I didn't mean for my first message to be one that discounts the contribution
you've sent; all I saw when i clicked on the link was a line that said
something to the affect of "Here's the plot..." and I closed the browser.
Obsessive? A little, but I certainly apologize if I came of rude about it.
I guess I was talking to people who didn't know to assume linked information
will most likely contain spoilers and quoted stuff wouldn't... which, now
that I think about it, makes a ton of sense.
Sorry.
