okay, it's obviously beginning

People who want to talk about spoilers for HP7:  obviously I would never deny your right to do so.  However, may I ask that you either a) reveal nothing, and I mean nothing, outside of what will naturally be a non-revealing LJ-cut, or b) let me know now that you might be dangerous, so I can find a way to put you on some sort of filter and not get inadvertently spoiled like I did last time?

I know some of you hunt spoilers and others of you think avoiding them is stupid.  But thanks for humoring me and my pathological need to know as little as possible.  :-)

All I really do want to know, actually, is, do we know a release date?

No, right. That's why I'm asking nicely. :-)

Keyword-filtering would be AWESOME.

And I'm with you on the bunkery of early spoilers, but it sort of doesn't matter -- things that get me speculating are almost as bad. My favorite case in point is the fact that at least a couple of my friends didn't know that someone was going to die in Order of the Phoenix, much less who. So they didn't spend the whole book being distracted by the red herrings of Arthur Weasley getting cut up, Hermione getting hit on the head, etc., etc. I don't know how they managed not to have heard, but they didn't. Obviously that's, like, the ultimate goal (shezan tells me the first time she saw Macbeth she didn't know how it was going to end! can you imagine?!) -- unreachable in most instances, but definitely something to strive for.

Okay, how is that even remotely possible?! How old was she when she saw Macbeth, for Cliff's sake?
