While it might help people who are unaware of the fact that different continents use different switching dates to learn about that, it’s not really helpful to ask for a solution in multiple places because it will consume time on multiple fronts to get virtually the same answer.

Hence it is usually better practice to provide links to the _one_ place where the specific discussion can/should be continued instead of scattering answers all over the forum.

Schooled. Thanks! 🙂 I **do** appreciate you, @ScruffR!
