FW: spoiler protocol

[Robert Mahnke]

I'm sorry to return to this subject, as if enough electrons haven't been
spilled on it already.  I appreciate the efforts made in subject lines to
warn of spoilers.  It appears to me that folks are using a Subject line
either including the word "spoiler" or the abbreviation "AtD x" where x is
the relevant page number.  (For what it's worth, I prefer the latter, since
the e-mails will become a resource when I start reading the book.)

 

The volume of e-mail from this listserv is also appreciated, but prompts me
to set up Outlook rules to manage the flow.  I have rules to sort e-mail
with "spoiler" or "AtD" in the subject line into a separate folder, where (I
hope) I will read them later.  

 

I notice that folks also are sending non-spoiler e-mailer with "AtD" in the
subject line.  My Outlook rules will ensure that I do not read these anytime
soon, alas.  So I respectfully would ask that people either put "spoiler" in
the subject line or not put "AtD" in non-spoiler e-mail.

 

Thanks, and have a happy Thanksgiving, y'all.
