The missing number
Dear Editor,
I began reading DRAGON ?way back in issue
#64. Recently I was sorting through my stack of
issues and discovered something strange. Issue
#65 bore the marking ?Vol. VII, No. 4? while
issue #64 was labeled as ?Vol. VII, No. 2.?

Whatever became of ?Vol. VII, No. 3,? and
does this revelation go down as the longest undiscovered
mistake in the history of the magazine?

By the way you worded your final question,
Matt, I think you already know what became of
Vol. VII, No. 3. We goofed up the numbering
sequence when we made the transition from Vol.
VI to Vol. VII, and since we couldn?t go back in
time and fix the mistake, we did the next best
thing and corrected the numbering in #65 by
skipping a digit.

No, this isn?t the ??longest undiscovered mistake,
? because it?s not undiscovered any more.
For the record, the oldest mistake we?ve ever
made that hasn?t yet been noticed was back in
. . . naaah, that would be telling. -- KM
