DU Olympians: Please put *Spoiler Alert* or something similar

Last edited Sat Jul 28, 2012, 03:05 PM - Edit history (1)

in your subject line if your OP is about the Olympics.

West Coast is behind a lot of you. Not to mention all the other areas that may be behind your time zone.

I don't know how much they'll be holding back for prime time but it is sure to be the best events.

Thanks!!

I may have to kick this a few times over the next few days to get the message out. I honestly prefer to watch without knowing the outcome ahead of time. lol

I have long thought of DU as a kind of band of brothers and sisters, who occasionally squabble, but pretty much stand together. You seem to equate it more with a sewer like the Yahoo message boards.
Good to know.

I don't normally put anyone on ignore. But in this case rude appears to be a badge of honor.

Thanks!
