Just a test to check a new SWS (Spoiler Without Space) prevention technique for all Outlook Express users. Just, nevermind this post.

Has this worked? I'd like to know who saw this post before the other and what newsreader you're using. Thanks for helping.

Hi SWS #2,

This is the only post I got. I didn't get the original SWS post.

I'm using NewsAgent which lists the subjects in order, so the posts came as "SWS Police Test --sorry--" then "SWS Police Test --sorry-- Please reply".

If you begin the subject with "!!!!" it will startle AND come early.

The biggest worry is spoilers in the subject heading. You could give a warning for these by saying just the start. Say somebody posts that the finale cliffhanger is "RACHEL PREGNANT BY JOEY!!!" then you could post a !!!! warning entitled "RACHEL P******************", then we obscure all but the first 8 characters, find the topic & save it out to the archive.

Tennant, (who is very appreciative of your & Activia's efforts)

I did that in the last one did you see that Tennant? I will not be on the night before the finale, to save myself. Once I see the finale, I'll make sure and read all posts than I'll send you an email so you know what time I came off. TO make sure its safe..is this ok?

Yes thanks. The last date for THE NEWS is May 15th, so from May 16th I'll be saving the whole of ATF� straight to archive apart from certain threads which I won't mention here, but you're used to seeing me there.

British satellite & cable viewers see the finale just three weeks later on June 8th� - until then please email me anyone, except that if you're not already on my address book then you won't get in.

LOL did you post this to every post that mentioned when the UK sees the finale?

No - just the posts where Tennant Stuart suggested it might be on Sunday.

You know, there's something weird (with my nr). Every week Chris posts the Broadcasts Schedule and it gets responses every time. Then my nr "refreshes" (=suppresses supposedly 'old' messages) the group so I only see the responses to those Broadcasts Schedules. But then when Chris posts the new one, the responses from the old one appears as if they were responses to the new one. I mean, how's that? I hoped I could do something like that with spoilers, y'know, post a new message that would appear as being the first of thread. Isn't there any way I can do it?

Thanks, I didn't know that was possible and couldn't 'fight' SWS if you hadn't told me the above. Thanks! =)

And I appreciate compliments very much, LOL. I'm a spoiler addict, so, I really don't mind doing it. It makes me feel more useful =).

With my newsreader, setting your clock earlier would do it, but not for others it seems. Can you edit the references in the header before posting?

What about a subtle typo in the subject name? You could precede "Rachel was great tonight" with "Rache1 was great tonight"...

You're welcome, Adeline. :)

I'm a spoiler addict too, I read all the Neighbours spoilers, though being five weeks behind Australia gives less scope than a year behind used to.

And I perform a similar Spoiler Police service for friends who are *huge* Star Trek fans with the science fiction & cult TV magazines they buy - I read them first, then pin just a few pages together with a read-by date.

Friends spoilers are best read *after* the show... :)

Yeop!

Thanks, I'll try that too. I'm afraid next Thursday is gonna be a busy night...

Yay! So you're doing physical spoiler prevention, and Act and I are doing virtual (but nonetheless useful) spoiler prevention. =)

There's no way I could ever know! Try as I might, I *cannot* refrain myself from reading spoilers. It's so exciting knowing what happens beforehand, especially when you can't wait till the next ep.
