Top Document: [rec.arts.comics] XBOOKS FAQ: Read Before Posting Previous Document: Where To Post (and it might not be to racmx) Next Document: Common Posting Problems See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge *Please* use concise and informative subject lines, which reflect the subject of your post, *without* giving away any just-published info that would spoil it for anyone who didn't pick up her books yet. That way, interested readers can find the subjects they want to read, the subjects they want to save for later, and the ones they want to avoid. * If it didn't occur *in the books* at least two weeks ago, DON'T post it without using SPOILERS. * Use the word SPOILERS in the subject line to indicate that your post has plot-sensitive information in it. Even if you're talking about info from Previews/Wizard/X-Fan/letter columns, you can't assume that all readers will have seen the info, or that they *want* to know the info. * If you just read issue #712 and learn that Cyclops dies, don't put: "Cyclops dies! SPOILERS!" in the header, because that gives away all the info! Instead, try: "X-Men #712 Cyclops SPOILERS". That way, posters who can't get their books for a few days can avoid it. * When you write your actual post, tell us the issue number and remind us that your post includes SPOILERS. Then, hit return twenty-four times (one screenful of space) so that there's a whole bunch of white space between the beginning of the post and the actual spoilers, so a reader can see that there are spoilers ahead. You can fill the space with silly quotes if you want. :) * If you shift topics, say, from talking about Gambit to talking about Kitty and Wolvie, just remember to change the Subject header to reflect it. If it was: "Re: Gambit is really unique" change it to: "Kitty and Wolvie (was Re: Gambit is really unique)". That way, the people who like Kitty know that the discussion has gone on to talk about her, and the Gambit fans won't have to endure talk about Kitty in a thread labelled "Gambit is really unique." NOTE: REVIEW implies spoilers. Again, leave spoiler space intact.
