Note to self: read a story until I reach the first date stamp. Stop reading, go find an index, search through the stories until I find the immediately preceeding date stamp. Determine where in the overall plot the 1st story falls. Resume reading the first story.

Jeez, you're touchy tonight. My point was that publishing that story out of order, instead of publishing in sequential order as is usual, led to unease in at least one reader because it didn't follow on from the last story published. That unease, even if not consciously recognized, *could* contribute to the apparently overall "meh" reaction the story appears, at this point, to be receiving.
