Now I'm curious J.C. Criminal discovery? Can you explain?
You aren't related to Johnny Cochrane are you? "If it doesn't fit..."

Oh, heavens no. I was on the opposite side of the courtroom trying to put bad guys away. If there was a question about whether to tender potentially relevant evidence (ie, "discovery" ((or "disclosure" as it was called in "My Cousin Vinnie")) ), you turned it over to the other side, rather than have the conviction overturned for a discovery failure. Hope that helps more than it confuses. If you need more info, I may have to start charging tuition.
So, as to the spoiler question, do you call a comment a spoiler, even though it really isn't? Example, one fellow has a puzzle [THIS IS A SPOILER] called "iceland", and the image is an icelandic flag. Normally, describing the picture would be considered a spoiler, but doesn;t the title already give it away so you wouldn't be spoiling it anyway, it's already been...flagged, so to speak (sorry, couldn't resist).
The JC closest to my heart would probably have to be the late Julia Child. I still think she became a chef in WWII so she could carry 9" knives through occupied France when she and her husband were with the OSS. But enough of conspiracy theories. Or is it, guys?

J.C. about the spoiler question. I asked the same one early on and Jan recommended marking a comment as a spoiler when in doubt. To your specific example, I see it this way: if the author choses to give the puzzle away in the title that is their prerogative. Since I am not the author and out of respect for same and fellow solvers I would rather mark a comment as a spoiler. I'm sure that I've overused the spoiler box but I'm okay with that!
As to the problem you mentioned in the topic discussion, you can still comment on puzzles by using the FIND PUZZLES feature. I still don't know how to post to old discussion topics though.

Dang, you are really on the ball to day! I guess marking the reply as spoiler sure couldn't hurt, it's not like getting into fort knox to get to the spoilers! Speaking of which, do we still use Fort Knox to keep gold? Seems like I havent' heard of it since an Edward G. Robinson film.

Haven't a clue J.C. but we don't mint coins in San Francisco anymore :(
Boy, you really are a movie buff. Isn't it funny how we call older movies films and recent ones movies (or video/DVD)? I remember when film was a term usually reserved for foreign movies or silent films. Can't remember when I stop making the distinction.

Um, Woody Allen and Humphrey Bogart were in films. Abbott & Costello and Adam Sandler are in movies. That's my snobbery rearing it's head. As to older ones, maybe they had to be films (ie, good enough) to be allowed to let survive. There are probably a zillion old movies that we've never heard of and for good reason. I feel a digression coming on regarding literary anthologies and greatest hit albums, but I've got to crash early tonight. Suffice it to say that no matter what the "experts" say, it's all subjective. Ever notice how when you are driving, the guy going slower than you is an idiot, but the guy driving faster than you is an absolute maniac? You (the generic you, not YOU specifically, Gypso*) can pontificate all you want about the perfection of Citizen Kane, it just doesn't do much for me. It's alright, but it isn't the second coming. Mel Brooks was being interviewed recently by Dick Cavett, and mentioned something similar, how he'd rather see Top Hat than the "Great Movies". something about cleansing the soul.
And I was trying not to digress.........
Too bad about the coinage. One of these days our little plastic cards (issued at birth, of course) will contain all our data. A passport/license/debitcredit/medical/legal history card all rolled into one. Look it up in The Velvet Monkeywrench, if you haven't read it already, a book half a century ahead of its time. Well, when we get the cards we can compare where they were printed "See son, yours has a little D inthe corner; it was made in Denver" "can I see grandpa's buffalo head card again?" "Liberty head, son? Well, liberty is a figure from ancient american mythology"
Okay that's enough. Good night all.

*I keep forgeting to ask about your handle. Where does Gypso originate from? There's got to be a good story behind it.
