Not a Harry Potter Post - Spoiler Free

I was so afraid that I would have something about the latest HP novel spoiled for me that between Friday and when I finished the novel, that I avoided any webpage on which I saw the word "Harry" or "Potter" or "Hogwarts" or "Spoiler" or etc...

It seems I've developed a new reflex - just a second ago, I instinctively closed my RSS reader tab in firefox when I saw the words "Potter" and "Spoiler" in a post's title....even though I've FINISHED the novel and have nothing left to be spoiled!!!!

The really ironic thing though, is that some poor soul who isn't done with the novel is going to come across this post in their neighborhood or on the explore page and do exactly the same thing to this post, instinctively, before they realize that was probably safe to look at...

[this is good]

I used this greasemonkey script for a few days there. It completely removes any blocks of text with the words 'Potter' or 'Harry', or a bunch of others.

oh, the URL didn't paste in... http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/archives/2007/07/mozilla_firefox.html

That's awesome....people are so resourceful....I'm glad I didn't need to be protected from a spoiler before I could read the book, but I'll have to remember these types of things for any future series that I don't want to be spoiled for me.
