There’s an error in the Secretary’s report - I noticed the same problem this morning. When I flipped it to 20, it was incorrect but platonically possible the way I did it, so it succeeded. The 22 was never correct, and it was no longer possible for me to flip it to an incorrect value. As a result, the amount I tracked for V.J Rada’s stamp purchase was incorrect, so 9 was also never correct, and did not happen. I’ll go through and un-pick buggy transactions. I don’t think the damage is too bad. Everyone gets the appropriate stamps; if anyone spent more than they meant to, I’ll figure something out. -o
