Comment on What good is Wall Street?

Didn't really read it all the way through, but for some reason, it is only me that finds it weird that the publish date is November 29, 2010? Is this an error or intentional?

Magazines (like the New Yorker) are usually dated a bit into the future, so that they look fresh on the news stands. At my local magazine shop, almost of the monthly magazines are already on their December issues, and some of them have been out for a week or two.

Have you really never noticed this before?

The New Yorker predates its issues, as they might theoretically take until Nov 29 to arrive in some people's houses (over here in brazil it takes longer than that, usually). It's an odd practice, but most magazines do it in some way.
