Well, I think I’ve decided that my best bet here is to do the following: By 1849 <1849-01-01> the California Gold Rush had ... This preserves the information that we are talking about the year while giving me a time stamp I can use. Alternately one could use a drawer to hide this information, or put it in the headline. best, Erik -- Sent from my free software system <http://fsf.org/>.
