I've been including the spoiler space because everybody else has and
nobody's objected till now, but I'm dubious of its utility.  It's
useless for those who get the digest, unless it's in the final message
of the digest; and on my email program at least, those who get
individual messages are safe as long as there's a spoiler warning in the
subject line.  Is there anyone out there who hasn't read IGJ and finds
the extra layer of protection given by the spoiler space vital?
