In the early games, it seemed that the standard was NOT to tell the answer, so that people could continue to guess. More recently it seems that poeple would like to see the answer posted when guessed correctly. Any objections to making this the standard practice?

That's a good idea, Kvetch.

And now.. I have my character all picked out, and await your interrogation. :D
It's a metaphor of human bloody existence, a dragon. And if that wasn't bad enough, it's also a bloody great hot flying thing.
