I know that now, and I knew it yesterday evening. But there was no way
those who were not present could have known when Frederik put that
date up.

To add insult insult to the injury : it just seems the date got
changed to half may 'to make me happy' That is the most clueless
response ever so I will shout too :

MY POINT IS NOT ABOUT SPECIFIC DATES OR SIZE OF CHANGES.

My point is that is happens without any feedback, coordination or
communication at all. And it just happened again this morning at
8:05. Thanks Frederik for totally missing the point and
feeling the need to get sarcastic in the process.

Apparently even communication with those who were present is
nearly as bad because Frederik already knows when it is possibly
going to change...
