Not just INTERACT but also POINTS and ADLIBS. I don't know, I just
recall something about dates or times not matching up with Datetimes
and me always saying that I wasn't using Datetime for anything
(and that it was going away) and you (or maybe Leah but I don't
think so) wanting to fixup the Datetime in some way or another.
It was in our recent convesations regards the various errors in
data spit out by the conversion and various data fixups.
Maybe a month ago? If this does not ring any bells then
forget it.
