See? Who says Steph and I can't agree on something? For the record, I did NOT know, but fortunately, I have not logged on for a few days. Had I seen the spoiler, I would have laid the Ancient Curse of the Wakeners (tm) upon the person who posted it, forcing him forever after to write only in lower case letters.

Kidding aside (heh), please do use spoiler warnings--and keep in mind that if you have the nature of the spoiler in the Subject line, i.e. "Subject: HARRY SENATE STABBED TOMORROW NIGHT!!! (spoilers)," it kind of defeats the purpose.
