While strictly true, I doubt that continuing to repeat this caution
will be worthwhile. You pointed out that having the date there is
useful. I won't try to mind-read the OP's purpose, but I don't suppose
it was simply to display the date, and I do suppose it is better
served now that he knows how to get the date right.

Cheers,
