Spoiler warnings

After reading these comments, I have to say that I think RAYOR would
be the best policy for when the list reopens after July 16th.  This
list is so high-volume that we really do *need* specific subject lines
and clean (read: unclutterd with "spoiler-space" babble) posts.  The
price we pay in list readability to make the list spoiler-safe is too
high when the vast majority of the readership at that time want to
discuss HBP.

I took quite long (about a week) to read OoP due to the intrusions of
RL, and I simply did not visit the list in that time. I certainly
preferred to read OoP when I could rather than trawl HPfGU for
spoiler-free messages.

Naturally, *before* July 16, full spoiler policy needs to be in
effect, in case the NY Daily News or the Sun manage to get a hold of
an early copy.
