Perhaps we could do without the meanness, but how "nice" is it really to post something as if it is a brand new topic, when the offered information has already been posted here and responded to and discussed?
In other words, it's not very "nice" to jump into the middle of a discussion and assume that you are beginning the discussion. At the very least, this "nice" person should have browsed the topics of this newsgroup before blindly posting a so-called "new" topic.
I think the problem that most people are having with the original post is that the poster sounded a little like s/he was bragging about having been at the filming. It was kind of like s/he was saying "Look at me! I went to the filming! Please give me attention and fill up my mailbox with emails saying how lucky I am, begging me for info!"; whereas when most people go to filmings, they simply post a spoiler if one hasn't already been posted. It wouldn't surprise me if this was the first filming this person had been to.

Don't you know how to read the topics of a newsgroup and browse it a bit first before posting? I always read unread messages first before posting my own contributions. Especially good is if you use a threaded newsreader because you can tell if others have already responded to someone. There've been a couple of times recently when I was about to respond to someone, only to find out that others had already done it and I didn't need to.
All we ask is that you make some effort to read the new topics, even just look at the subject headers first and find out if what you are about to contribute (as in "news") has already been posted by someone else. Now, if it were your own opinion about something that's different. Once you had found the topic where the spoilers for the Finale were posted, you would have been most welcome to share with us your own impressions and how exciting it was for you, being the first time, etc.
But when you posted it as if it were a scoop, it rubbed us the wrong way a little.
Even so, sorry for the meanness. That definitely was uncalled for.
Hellooooo!!! After getting drunk in Vegas, James Squire doodled cat whiskers on his/her face and miaowed this little lot at a statue...
Apologies from me as well. I think the spoiler itself has rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, and caused a lot of animosity which was inevitably (but unfortunately) going to get directed at the first person who unwittingly put their foot in it - unfortunately, that just happened to be you. Blame the spoiler. :)
Addison, 7pm was the end of the taping ?? Ha! If so, they definitely filmed some cliffhanger without the audience!

It's not necessarily too early. TOW The Ring filmed from 2PM until a little before 8PM. But I wouldn't rule out the possibility of a cliffhanger anyway, just in case.
Not necessarily! He could fly home for the week-end and arrive at around say, 7 or 7.30 =) Ok, now I'm dreaming awake =)!

yeah sometimes the tapings are earlier. i went to one which was from about 2-9 but still that was nine not seven. and another one was from 4-10 so the time vary.
Well, if you want to feel even more hopeful, they actually finished filming at around 6:30. It takes me about half an hour on the freeway to drive from Burbank back to where I live, and I got home at around 7:10...
Quite obviously, if they want to film something without the audience there, they'd have to wait for all of us to file outta there...
On a side note, there's no ending tag, AFAICT, so what if they didn't film anything else, what do you think they might show us?
Since there has been some discussion about the taping ending early let's remember that all the scenes with David in them were pre-taped so I would guess that would cut down on the actual filming time of the episode quite a bit. I highly doubt they taped anything else after the audience left because there really wasn't anything to tape.
David Schwimmer was in only two scenes for the entire filming.. and they took, on average, three takes for each scene (the last scene throws off this average, by the way, since they did a lot of pick-ups). I didn't really keep track of time, but I think doing three takes couldn't have taken more than half an hour (though the time in between scenes took a bit longer). So if we add about another hour to the filming time, the would have finished at around 7:30; that's still pretty early, I think.
Well, anyway, the possibility that they filmed a cliff-hanger without the audience seems very slim in my opinion, but who knows...
