His review of the Talking Heads CD set is dated July 27, 2001, but mentions "Sept 11." Conspiracy theorists take note.

That's actually pretty interesting and quirky. I wonder what happened.

Could he have initially posted before Sept. 11 and then edited the post after? Or did Amazon screw something up with the dates?

In big systems like amazon's it's not uncommon to fudge something that's not critical. They probably lost data during a migration 8 years ago, or some similar disaster and decided to just rebuild a replica by generating plausible dates.

That kind of crap happens all the time.
