[Ducati] List etiquette? SPOILER

Scroll down
I also want to discuss the race while it's fresh. I think that a few taps of
the "enter" key takes any text out of view even if you accidentally look at
the message or have a gmail preview. If you use "SPOILER" and scroll your
text out of view, I'm good with any race post at all, even if it's
immediately after the checkered flag.

Ya know folks...I'm really getting ticked with the constant "spoiler",
etiquette, etc bellyaching.
If ya don't want to hear or see the results about the races, then just
don't open the list until after what YOU determine is a fair or unfair or
predetermined amount of time. If it's so blasted important, then just tune
out for awhile. That way it's your decision, one person, instead of everyone
trying to mind read what a particular person deems an appropriate amount of
time.
Me, I want to hear what went on, what's the "read" was on a happenstance
of the race, etc. If everybody has to wait so that all have seen the race,
then the spontaneity and freshness is lost and little discussion is done.
Last year, I bit my tongue, especially after several races went by with an
absolute minimum mention of the race. This was even mentioned by several
others. If I want to see a movie and several people are discussing the
movie, I walk out. I don't tell them that they can't discuss the movie until
after I see it.
So, this rant I'm sure will ruffle more than a few feathers. Am I in the
minority?
