BUT... since this whole thing was called by His Emminence, I will aver to his right to close it. Email on the way...

Originally Posted By DlandDug >>Isn't 12:00 AM the first minute that begins each new day?<< Actually, 12:00 is the exact END of a day. That is why legal documents always note that things begin or end at 12:01. That way there is no confusion over which day is in question. (As it is here.)

I'll respect what they say on this.
