I didn't see anyone over the course of the Saturday and Sunday I read it, so nope, no one ruined it for me.
Though I had already predicted who would die and who the half-blood prince was, surprisingly. I did this little dance around the room when I was right. ^^;;

Yup some guy told me what happened on the Saturday, I wasn't to bothered because I'm not that interested in buying the book... more selling it (Work in a book store). What really bothered me was I had to get up at 7am and serve books to snotty kids for the rest of the day.

Crabbe. OMG I said it! Do I die now?

Yes, I "ruined" it for myself by purposely looking for spoilers. Then I strongly considered "ruining" it for everyone else, because people who complain about spoilers are waaaaaaaaaaay up on my list of the extremely annoying, as they tend to be obssesive and whiny, and also, in my opinion, if your enjoyment of a book is ruined by knowing a plot twist, it's not worth reading. It's the journey that's important. Also my grandmother had just died, so I was in sort of a bad mood, a feeling which this post is vividly bringing back, so I do apologize.
I didn't spoil it, though. Partially because I didn't want a barrage of "OMG!noez!", and mostly because one of my friends did it herself.

You're right it wasn't here. I'd've flayed them alive myself!What an inconsiderate dolt!
Actually, someone posted it here.
Subject: "Hey! Look at this topic!"
Post: "______ kills ______."
Couple of days ago. I kinda ran around on AIM screaming at people trying to find a Misc. Disc. mod (confused poor Scott), before Chass came online. "Chass. DELETE. NOW!"
Luckily it was only here for about 10 minutes
That said, it wasn't spoiled for me, since I bought the book about 10 minutes after the release (no queues, yay!), and read it in just over 3 hours.
One of my "friends" (girl who hangs around my group at school and is annoying as hell) walked up to someone at school and goes, "I can't believe _____ dies!", without even asking if she'd read the book. *stabs her*
