Gavin,
    Your answer is succient and to the point about the understanding
of HP dates in reference to calendar vs fiscal dates. On the humorous
side and it being this time of the year your wording reminded me of
how Easter is calculated. There is an Easter calculated based on lunar
cycles and there is one based on solar cycles. Both are correct but it
is important to know which concept the conversation is based on.

                               Thx for the insight....
