Oh bugger. I thought initially that the post hadn't appeared on my
server, but it had.

I've run the sql command in mySQL and it picks it up. In my script, the
same line doesn't pick it up. The only difference was that in the
script I used the script variables to calculate dates.

Buggery bollox. It was a fairly important bug too. It means that the
stats for the last 12 months are skewed by one day.

The corrected results are here:

Not that it makes any difference to some of these posters...

I've corrected the stats for ukrmc too.

and no mention of me, despite the coding errors from the wannabe frog
contingent.

I have to say though; as a cost effective way of getting out of the
stats going on holiday sucks big time. Next month I expect to be back
in and continuing the slow slide down that is associated with browsing
through the Getting A Life brochures. Which is what I am doing at the
moment.

Perhaps you should turn off your killfile for a bit and join in the
totality of it all? There is loads of stuff going on, some of it about
cars even.
