While the result is no real surprise, posting spoiler information like this to a non-sports-related forum is extremely ill-mannered. I'll be watching the (recorded) coverage in a couple of hours. Telling me the result ahead of time is decidedly inconsiderate. I know enough to stay out of sports-related newsgroups, etc. I didn't really expect to have to avaid the pdml, which is on the whole a reasonably friendly and well-behaved place. (And posting with the spoiler in the subject line is even worse; that way I can't even decide to postpone reading the message to avoid learning details I'd rather not know).
