I mean, OK, those of us who don't live in the US, or perhaps Canada are often a season or two behind on our local TV stations. So in order to not be exposed to spoilers we have to either not read our friends list, or somehow, in those two weeks acquire the afore mentioned episode from somewhere.
Now, it's easy to do so, I admit, should you have a decent download speed. But if you don't or if you are me and are extra careful to not torrent too much stuff because then you get C&D letters and negative attention from your ISP. And my career is in IT - so I wanna be extra careful. So my other choice is friends? Most of my local friends also live in Australia, so I'd have to find someone from overseas willing to burn and send each episode to me as it airs? Well I'm sure someone would if I asked, but I don't want to inconvenience anyone.
So, I'm not meaning you should stop your policy, because it obviously works for you. But there are those of us who are not missing watching the episodes due to laziness or disinterest, but rather geography.
