Some people sure don't.....

.....know what a spoiler space is for. I feel sorry for the "differently time-zoned" among us who know the secret before they wanted to.

Good point, but they should know better than to go beyond the subject line in here. They must realize that the other people have seen it and will be posting to this about it. (Yes, but we all know not everyone thinks that in-depth.) ARK

That won't really help, as someone always decides to put the answer in the subject line.

why would people be online on theNG just an hour or two before the episode airs unless they want to know what happened

Doesn't matter. The polite thing to do on a NG that deals w/ an on-going TV show is NOT to give away secrets in the subject line and you should notate "spoiler" in the subject line. Some folks just don't realize that secrets may be revealed.

On the other hand, the decline and/or fall of western civilization does not hinge upon whether or not some newbie finds out who Cartman's father is before he/she sees the episode. All I'm saying is it's nice to be forewarned. It's a matter of common courtesy.
