There was no "reaction" to this post if that's any indication:) A good sign perhaps for future scenarios. Recall this patent was approved and on the public server PRIOR to the PR that started all the volume.
it is most unusual for their to be an issue date set prior to the actual issuance. I did notice that the entire front page was not posted, just the top half. Looks more like an amendment to the filing date for a provisional that was submitted before. At least to me. But what I think is clearly not important and even if that is the case somebody will be posting that it is a new patent and some people will believe them.
