At least respect JKR if you can't say something intelligent

Also, we must remember, that at least when she was writing the first 
few books, I doubt she expected readers to be looking this closely at 
the facts and the timelines and all that. Clearly 100% accurate and 
sensical timelines are not something thats a priority to her. It's 
something that she overlooked. ... "

DuffyPoo:
I agree, I doubt she expected readers to be looking so closely for 
timelines and whatnot.  I think one of her biggest mistakes, including 
Flint and Mark Evans, was noting the date of Nick's deathday as 1492.  
If it weren't for that specific date none of this date speculation 
could be going on.  


Samnanya-
"One of her biggest mistakes" ???
"Clearly 100% accurate and sensical timelines are not something thats 
a priority to her" ???

How did you know that HG ? How can you comment on her priorities?
And how exactly is Nick's deathday of 1492 one of her biggest 
mistakes? How can you say that the date is not CRITICAL in oop or 
later books?
It is one thing to have an opinion or not fully understand something. 
It is entirely another to criticize an author or that author's work 
without understanding how something YOU don't see may be critical in 
later books.
And clearly, JKR just randomly throws around dates, and row numbers, 
and rat fingers, time turners, and pies as the mood serves her and 
just randomly happens to come up with these extraordinarily addictive 
storylines........
I have read a lot of theories on this site that I don't agree with, 
but at least they respected the material and the author.  
And clearly one of my biggest mistakes is getting all worked up over 
this.................


And think of this .......
She has written five of the seven books in the series, and virtually 
NOTHING HAS BEEN GIVEN AWAY! This site alone has generated close to 
50,000 posts since the last book was published. How many authors are 
good enough to pull that off??? Are you two ?

[Dammit! I cant find my thorazine!]

Now just so any rational person who has read this might get some value 
out of the above ravings,,,, lets see if anyone can figure out how 
1492 and row 97 in oop  MIGHT be related to each other -- or is this 
just random too ? 
[btw they are, but that is just my theory, though reasonably supported 
by canon and posted here in the past]
