The E-Sylum:  Volume 10, Number 32, August 12, 2007, Article 4

THE E-SYLUM MAKES TIME STAND STILL

Dick Johnson and Bruce Perdue noticed a glaring error in last week's
issue - I'd forgotten to increment the issue number to 31 (so shame
of the rest of our resident nitpickers who missed this one!)  I wish
I could say I did it on purpose as a test - sorry!  Anyway, we've
fixed the online archive and made sure this week's issue is properly
numbered 32.

This wasn't the only off-by-one numbering error in the issue - Dick
Becker found a whopper in the Wayne's Word's item.  He writes: "Your
headline announcement of a lady finding a 1794 CHAIN cent in her
garden is outstanding. This earth-shattering news will, no doubt,
have all of us waiting to see which auction house will feature it
in their next sale. Look for a new sales record for a US coin.

"Isn't it fun when we can make fun of ourselves once in a while?
I wonder how many other Asylum "inmates" caught this one. Seriously,
keep up the good work. I look forward, and read each issue."

[So far Dick is the only reader to report this one.  It has also
been fixed in the online archive.  -Editor]
