Could I get some feedback from others on this subject? I always assume that if the title of an article says 'Re: How to confuse Penguins' that the article very well might be the *answer* to the 'How to confuse Penguins' puzzle. I've seen very few people posting spoiler warnings or rotating answers to puzzles, and personally have never missed them. But then again, I usually *do* take a minute to work out the interesting puzzles I find here immediately, and usually don't need such warnings anyhow. Are there more people out there who think solutions to puzzles should have warnings and be rotated? Howabout just a warning? -- Jeff Sonntag ihnp4!mhuxt!js2j "Sundown, yellow moon. I replay the past.
