There is nothing unreasonable about his request, really.  It is a very simple 
thing to put "spoiler" in the title or to indicate that we are discussing some-
thing as major as the answer to WKLP.  In fact, there are probably U.S. viewers
who will not have seen the 11/10 episode on Saturday, who will have taped it and
would appreciate not having the story spoiled for them.  We go out of our way to
put spoilers on the previews, does it not seem logical to do so for this?

As for your first statement, if we all took that attitude: well I would, but no
one else will...where would we be?  Actually, he didn't specifically mention 
"spoilers".  He asked for us to indicate that we would be discussing the answer
to WKLP in the subject line.  That is what the subject line is there for isn't
it?  So it doesn't seem too terribly difficult to comply with his request to me.
