A poll on spoilers Okay, so I've decided unilaterally after this wank that we really should have a set law about how long people should worry about spoilers before everyone is expected to know, and those who don't can be told that they need to stop whining and shut the fuck up. Poll #139 So, how 'bout them spoilers? Open to: All, results viewable to: All How long does it take for a spoiler to cease being a spoiler?
