Please use specific dates in announcements

Post by Dick Jacobson »

I've noticed some recent postings regarding announcements of meetings or other events where the writer says the event will be "tomorrow" or "next Thursday" or something similar. This may cause confusion since the postings are usually present for many days, weeks, months... I think it would be helpful to always include a specific date in your message, for example "tomorrow, December 9".

Either that, or be sure to edit your post every night at midnight!

Good point.
I have a feeling this may not get read by many people here. Maybe you should cross-post it to the MAS Discussions forum.
