Firstly, Phyllis, your posts were charming rather than offending, so 
I don't think you don't need to delete them!

There are currently no votes for "still reading the book" in the 
poll, so I propose that we dispense with using spoiler space/avoiding 
header spoilers.  If that would cause a problem for anyone who is 
active (rather than dormant), please shout up.  It's probably more 
difficult at this stage to come up with an informative header that 
doesn't include a spoiler.  ["OOP: You know that bit after that you-
know-what happens?  Scroll down three yards to see my thoughts on 
whatsername and thingy doing so-and-so"]

A few people voted for keeping the spoiler protection in for other 
people, but as we're only discussing OoP at the moment, it should be 
fairly clear that there will be OoP spoilers on this list.  Any new 
invitations would make this clear. 

I'm not sure it's essential to include OOP in headers, unless you 
want to make it clear your post is only about the new book - should  
we have that as optional? 

I suggest that we still use 'OT' in headers for completely OT posts, 
although we're mostly on topic at the moment.
