1) FOTD date format: This is somewhat ambiguous at the moment, although it appears to be Short European (dd-mm-yy), which is probably a better choice than (Short) American even if only because it's more widely used.
Remember that there are at least six numeric date formats; Short European, Short American (mm-dd-yy), Short Japanese (yy-mm-dd), and the Long versions (yyyy instead of yy; Long Japanese is more usually known as ISO-8601 or International). Of these, International is the only one that's completely unambiguous to everyone, hence the name.
Then there's mine - yyyy.mm.dd. ;-) -- David gnome@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community
