If course, that's no help to those who've not heard of it. Or to people who, like 
me, read mail offline, or like Rebekah who has email but not web access.

I actually could not work it out with the tools I had to hand; that's why I said 
"clear as mud."

Thanks for taking it in good part; I had figured it didn't matter to me, but I do 
like people to recognise there are people outside their own area (and especially 
that there are people outside the US) who might not know these "established facts."

The other good thing to watch out for is date formats. Most people don't use the US 
format, and for dates around now they can be ambiguous.
