Yoo Hoo, Disney EchoEARS!
A reminder:  "Hercules" in the US opens in theaters this Friday, June 27.
Not everyone is going to be able to see this film on opening weekend and
we do have readers overseas who won't see it for several months.
Everyone who sees "Hercules" within the next few weeks:  As a courtesy
to others who want to be surprised when they see the film for themselves
later than you, _please_ put SPOILER ALERT and several blank lines before
you begin open discussion of the film's plot or surprises or in-jokes or
schtick or animation not otherwise seen in public previews on TV/Cable.
This is not a "rule" as much as it is a "netiquette" request in advance
to be thoughtful of others about this matter.  Thanks!
To those who won't see "Hercules" in the next few weeks:  If you want
to judge or enjoy the film for yourself, please observe the SPOLIER ALERTS
in messages and simply skip over them if you don't want to know anything
about the film before you see it.  Despite this request, there might be
some thoughtless folks who won't bother with SPOILERS.  Try to keep your
cool and simply ignore those messages, skip over them.  If you happen
to read a little something, well, that's life.  :-)
With regard to "Hercules" merchandise:  You can talk about _all of it_!
How much you like/don't like it, what retailer has what, the "Hercules"
soundtrack, whatever. :-)  The only thing we are not permitting as
moderators is open buy/sell/trade/want-to-buy/auction/"classified ad"-type
posts.
With regard to the Hercules parades at WDW and DL, feel free to discuss
and review.  Is it worth seeing?  Any crowd avoidance strategies if
crowds are a problem?  Did you like it?  That sort of thing is fine.  :-)
