Since many people obviously are so accustomed to numbers that they have trouble coping with anything else (and therefore think numbers right and natural, and anything else bizarre and perverse), if we do both, people will use their beloved numbers and ignore the dates. The only way to run a fair experiment is to stick to dates. That's what we're going to do. Once again, if you want to rant about this, please do it in mail, not by posting yet more repetitious bickering here. -- V7 /bin/mail source: 554 lines.| Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology 1989 X.400 specs: 2200+ pages. | uunet!attcan!utzoo!henry henry@zoo.toronto.edu
