In the last few months I have seen several net postings
asking for help with various Mac games.  Many of these postings 
are fine, but a couple of them have included a lot of background 
information about the game (i.e. "I have the X, I've done the Y, 
I've taken care of Z, but I cannot get past W).  A description like 
this gives away a lot of the game; it tells what's coming up, and
implies a successful sequence for handling the game's puzzles. 

Please do not include such game descriptions in your postings!

I recently bought a couple of Mac games.  Naturally, any news
postings carrying either game's title would have attracted me, 
and I'd have given it a look.  I would be very upset to suddenly 
read all kinds of information about the game, ruining some of the
fun of exploring and learning in the game world.  These games
cost significant money for many of us, and beyond that the
pleasure of figuring out puzzles and encountering new places is
immediately and forever ruined.

If you must ask game questions, please label such a posting
as a spoiler in the message heading.  Thank you.
