It wasn't a small fact, it was a major spoiler! I think it was just a
new person who didn't know the rules, however. But I was pretty steamed
to read how casually the booksellers are handling the "secrecy" -- it's
a joke. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that half the country has read
the book by the time it's "officially" on sale.

some of the members are not very careful about posting with spoiler
messages! Someone who works in a bookshop claimed to have read GoF,
and then slipped in a small fact that she could have kept to herself
