The unfortunate thing with this solution is if we were taking a quick look at the site at sowhere, like the public library, where the the network has the view source option disabled.

I'm talking about spoilers here. If you're at a public library (and even "view-source:http://url" ain't working in your browser's location bar), you have ample time to think about the solution on your way home or work, or wherever you usually read Perlmonks :) If, by then, you still don't have a clue, you can look up the spoiler.

it seems like a lot of trouble to look over a source to find a spoiler.

That's why I suggested the usage of "Spoiler:" in front of the actual text. If your source viewer doesn't have search function, get a different one ;) But, as I also stated, it "would be slightly annoying". For every way you can think of arguments against it... I guess ;) Then again, shouldn't a spoiler always involve a little hassle to actually read it?

Hahaha :). I got it :). I love it :). In that case I am all for your idea, making people work for the answer :). You make a very persuasive argument :). I guess I was forgetting that patience is a virtue :), and this plan would certainly teach patience :). You've got my vote for commenting spoilers :).
