There are still TIME BONUS points available for Friday's QoD.

Well, the Rules are pretty important. Many folks hurt their chances by not being aware of them.

I know I messed up and had my answers across two posts instead of one, so I have lumps coming. Today I did edit on QOD, but I didn't edit my answers. I went back and reformmated to be a spoiler. I hope this doesn't run afoul of rules.

The No Editing Rule is about the answers. I saw your answers before you edited, so although your editing would run afoul of the letter of the Rules, as one who knows the clear intent of the author, I can say that editing the format won't be a problem.

If I hadn't seen the answers before the Edit, and then I saw evidence of an Edit, I would have had to apply the rule unless somebody else vouched that the answers had not been changed.

In short, don't worry about today. For future, the answers don't have to be put in the Spoiler tag. I suggested it because having them that way makes it pretty darn hard for someone to claim he or she accidentally saw someone else's answers.

Excellent! Thank you. Next time, if I forget the spoiler format, I'm just leaving it alone.
