My apologies, John. Quite frankly, since I was watching the thing on network TV the thought never occurred to me that the rest of the world wasn't watching with me. I forgot about the left coast, not to mention the huge delays that US TV uses so that they can broadcast Olympic drama in prime time.
It was a thoughtless moment on my part, one that won't be repeated. If I experience an irresistible need to post about an Olympic result in the future it will be very clear from the subject line what I'm up to. I'm sorry I spoiled your time trial. Apologies to anyone else on the list who had this event spoiled for them. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

Why, why, WHY will people insist on posting spoilers to unrelated groups? I wouldn't go near twitter, facebook, or the like.

If you absolutely can't restrain yourself, please at least have the decency to flag the posts with something that gives a clue to the subject matter! How is anyone supposed to know that a post with the title "Rue Brittannia" (sic) has anything to do with the Olympics?
