[GNC] Kind of a Philosophical Question about Transaction Dates

[Hartmut W Sager]

Hi Tom,

Thank you very much for your very kind response to my remarks; apology accepted.  We in Canada are especially sensitive on this, because of our unique and complicated relationship with the USA, more so than the rest of the non-USA English-speaking world.

And BTW, to all who took time to comment on this topic, it was really interesting to hear all your perspectives on how different folks deal with the date discrepancies.  Thanks to all who chimed in.
