My point in the original posting of this was that about 20% of the
news group threads are fluff about the show (e.g. Agent cooper
on letterman, gif files, sound files, ....).  The other
80% is a discussion of the nuances of the show.  That would
mean that 80% of the articles could be marked spoiler under
a most general definition.  Therefor, the word loses all meaning.

The problem of various countries being current at various
points in the series is a problem. Any kind of dating is sort of
hopeless.  E.g. Disscussions of the White Lodge trancend episodes
back to the Briggs/Son discussion in the diner I think.  What 
episode is it a spoiler for?  Yet the discussion still goes on today
with relevance to current US episodes.

I personally don't read alt.tv.twin-peaks until I have watched
the current episode.  Its a pain but I treat everything in there as
a spoiler.
