In the future, you may want to put a character on each line for your

tried to hide in the brief view of your message on the web page. :-/

Another way to prevent spoilers from showing up in the brief view is to use
the nntp-standard sig-marker.  Put '-- ' (without quotes) on a line by
itself before the sensitive information, and everything following the dashes
will *not* be shown in Brief View.

How are you posting? I cannot get it to work when posting from the Web. :-(

I can't make it work from the web, either.  It appears that the trailing
space character is important, but the web interface strips out trailing blanks.

I seem to remember that some people (Mac users, I think) *could* insert some
special character that protected the trailing blank.  But now I don't recall
the details.  And I think the thread was in off-topic.test, so it's not
searchable now.

I did get it to work from my newsreader, for what that's worth. :)
