Thanks to Dave M., I have come to realize the error of my ways. I am
reminded that 12:00 EST may be the start of the new year for me; but only a
fraction of ROFF resides in this particular time zone. Accordingly, the
official announcement and the beginning of FS2004 will be at approx. 12:00
a.m. Greenwich Mean Time. Not only does that better internationalize the
kickoff, but it allows me to subtract a midnight posting from my NYE
revelry.

Happy New Year to all!
