[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8493342, member: 23751"] Just a nitpick, but that's not telegraphing. Telegraphing implies that something might be present. It's a clue. If they touch the wall and discover it to be wet and slippery, it's not a telegraph of the wall being wet and slippter. I didn't say that. I said that sometimes things are not going to be telegraphed due to how the environment is set up and that poking around is how you find those things. That doesn't mean that no poking around is going to be present when telegraphing happens. Sometimes it will. Sometimes it won't. Spilled ink in a closed drawer. That was easy. It's an environmental description that you aren't going to know about until you poke around and open the drawer. Dry rot on the bottom of the dresser that isn't discoverable until the dresser is turned over is another. There are lots of descriptions that won't be present or telegraphed until you poke around. No, but the wall would probably glisten ;) [/QUOTE]
