As are, I'm sure, our customers when told that their "month" of service which began on 00:01 March 1 expires prior to the 31st. For cycles which expire on the 1st through the 28th of a month, I can see the logic. But... what's "exactly 1 month" from, say, January 31? What's "exactly" 12 months from February 29? -wfs ------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe and list archive please visit http://www.optigold.com/lists -------------------------------------------
