Not too often, it wasn't until about five years ago that two $10K winners occurred in the same SCSD. I think there have been four of five total occurrences of the latter.

To make a comment about the Spoiler thing, the first thing someone would notice in reading my first post is the spoiler warning -- I don't see how anyone could read, or be \"spoiled\" by my message with the spoiler warning as blatant as it is

 Or so you think.

Many of us can glance just for a hair of a second at a paragraph and at least get an inkling of what the subject matter of the post is...and once that's happened, however small, it's spoiled. Someone who wants to avoid a spoiler does not want to see the LEAST LITTLE BIT of information that MIGHT give away the results of a show.

So you don't see how it can happen, and I'm telling you (and with a fair amount of experience with these things) that it can, and quite easily.

You don't have to take my advice to heart, but I'm trying to save you from the hell you WILL catch (from everyone, not just me) if you do that again and end up blowing something major.

I come from a message board where such a spoiler warning is always acceptable, but if you think a simple paragraph will catch peoples' attention moreso than a completely capatilized, between-asteriks statement, I'll be more careful.

 I don't \"think\". I _know_.

And like I said, it's even better to put the spoiler warning in the message topic so people don't even open the message to start with, which makes the whole thing moot.

(I don't mean to harp, but people are VERY sensitive about spoiler issues around here, so we're probably a little more anal about it than, say, the Buffy groups. :))
