I mean, sheesh. Even *if* there are people out there who read diarists
as though they were novels, and then go to read about the diarist in
an encyclopedia, would they really expect to avoid reading about a
ten-year period in the author's life just to avoid anything
interfering with the book?
I think I've got the most ridiculous usage of the spoiler templates
(before I removed them, that is): the [[Get A Mac]] article. You know,
the "Hello, I'm a Mac" "And I'm a PC"-commercials? We
can't go around
willy nilly spoiling those, can we?
