Subject Headers and Spoiler Protocol (was Re: ATD SPOILER p. 95)

[davemarc]

Just thought I'd pipe in and suggest that it's good to change the header when the subject changes. This has turned into a Pynchonwiki discussion. Changing the header will (I think) help people navigate the archives and take the spoiler warnings seriously.

As long as I'm posting, here's something else: Thanks to everyone who's been using the spoiler warnings. I'd still prefer some kind of space at the top (to prevent textmosis) but I'm grateful for any attempts to respect those of us who are squeamish about spoilers. And I do find the page number in the subject header to be a terrific indicator of whether one should read a post.

  I'm not a bit fan of wiki technology, but that's because html stuff is foreign to me.  With some experience on the site, I can get past the learning curve and make contributions.  I'd like to.  I think the idea behind the Pynchonwiki site (or any such comprehensive site devoted to a better understanding of complex text) is a worthy one.
