Just shows you how non-programmers think.  ^_^  If I want to know a
value of 2 days ago, it's a negative number, right?  I thought if I
wanted to do something at some point in the future, that would be a
positive number.  Obviously, it works when I go with your thinking,
instead of mine.

Thanks,

Yuki
