Mike, for your information and education, it is the date of _invention_
that relevant in the United States. The date of publication is only
relevant if you filed more than one year latter (in which case the patent
is also invalid).

[Which is not to imply that there is not other prior art or that EOLAS has
done anything sufficiently novel to be called an invention.]
