First, it wasn't meant as criticism, and if it came across that way, I'm sorry. Somebody was going to be the first to mention the result; I just didn't want it to be me. I'm reasonably sure that I'm not the only one who records Jeopardy! every day. When there are places to go and things to do, they can stack up. And even when it's just watching later in the evening of broadcast, seeing relatively harmless tweets about questions from that night's show can be a bit frustrating. So I'm not clear on what the appropriate space is; I appreciate that everyone here is trying to do the respectful thing. And, yes, having a list member on the show is a special case. (For sporting events, on the other hand, if they're important enough to record, I've resigned myself to the fact that I'm extremely unlikely to be able to avoid exposure to the result.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
