Boo Hoo! Now, when I finally get around to reading my compendium of
Peanuts Comic Strips, I'll already KNOW the punchline of the "Rosebud"
strip. In the course of this discussion of Spoilers, a simple comic strip
has been revealed and reviled as a SPOILER of Citizen Kane. I've got news
for those of you who haven't seen said film: It's a little more complex
than that. Since I happen to have a great interest in films and movies
(and have seen and re-seen many) I feel comfortable in saying that a good
part of the value of any film lies in the viewing;a more generous portion
of this film's  value resides in its complex analysis of a man's life and
the fact that the "man" was Wm Randolp Hurst. 
But more to the point. You, (Jacob) the reader, are ultimately
responsible. You can close your eyes. As for friends, so-called, giving
away plot lines, etc. unless they are forcing the information on you,
verbally abusing your intellect so-to-speak, you still have the choice and
responsibility to listen or not. I am different than Jake. Knowing
something's ending  hardly ever spoils the experience of learning, seeing
or knowing it for me.
