RMM:
I have a question then. 
Has anyone here had a book published?
Does anyone here know that the book publisher has people called 
"editors" that go over the book for exactly these kinds of 
discrepancies?

So, unless the editors are a bunch of bumble brains, they would be 
telling Jo:  "You have some dates wrong here.  Fix them or we will."

But yet, the dates stay in the book the way they are.  Why?

For only one reason: Because the DATES are NOT WRONG.  It is how we 
are misreading them.  (I exclude the last book because they put the 
dates in wrong to make a point about our lack of being able to
discern 
what is being said.)

RMM:
It is fun to discuss because the stuff is truly accurate, IF you know 
what to look for.  Otherwise, the whole thing is nonsense.
