Then why did you say "who cares?" to my post, which clearly
implied NOBODY does, because surely you didn't mean to
conduct an opinion poll of the entire readership as to
"who cares?"
If you meant to say "only for myself", then all you have
to do is say "I couldn't care less" or some such variant.
You know the meaning of "I" don't you? ;-)

This is the FIRST time. Why you ask? But you have merely
succeeded to insert foot in your mouth while doing it. :-))
At least that makes your post non-vacuous for the first
time in THIS thread. Unfortunately, it was the WRONG
info, Mr. Wise One.
WHOSE "today" are we talking about? This is an INTERNATIONAL
List, don't you know? YOUR "today" is three hours different
from MY "today", and 10, 12, 13 hours different from the TODAY
of Aussies and NZs.
YOUR recipe of using "since today" (shortly after today started
at GMT -0400), there were postings I've seen HOURS ago
yesterday! One of Sherry's, e.g.
