Whilst it is obvious to me that someone programmed it in for a reason, I am
just trying to understand what that reason might have been. My observations
so far indicate that it serves no useful purpose that couldn't be improved
substantially by delaying the creation until the active date but showing the
effect it will have on the account when that happens.

I would love to program in that and several other features myself but don't
have enough experience with the code used.
