Regarding 7f0b96f7-b2d0-46d4-93ab-087d125baaad the tagline entry;
2018-01-17 is 0 days from now and falls on a Wednesday.
shouldn't be included since it is current and not future. I note that 0f51e93f-1de7-4147-8da0-a94b626f11a9 indeed takes care of it.
I am taking this opportunity to apologize to the users of this echo
for this obvious oversight on my part and hopefully the 2018-01-20 in
3 days will reflect this change as well as show the Zulu time as
00:00:00 as previous "beer on the wall" automagic posts.
On the other hand, it does let one know that the day has arrived
It is an interesting experiment
... Paper is always strongest at the perforations.

I think that might have been my original thinking when I first wrote
it. I'll make a change for the one later today that drops the
'Future' so that it states '... Cybertoasts of note:'. We'll see how
that looks and take it from there.
It is an interesting experiment
Excellent! Interesting is always good.

No more bottles of beer on the wall, no more bottles of beer.
Go to the store and buy some more ...
... Cybertoasts of note:
2018-01-20 is 0 days from now and falls on a Saturday.
2018-01-21 is 1 days from now and falls on a Sunday.
Hmmm... that should have been 1 day (not days) from now...
I thought you'd fixed that.... ;)

Good eye. Thank you.

So did I. However I missed it in that incarnation and I will send a
test newly fixed one just for the record.
The test seemed to have worked... ;) I thought you'd made it a
permanent change, though....? Or was it only in the regular
countdown...?
That's what tests are for... to catch the glitches
Probably it will all work as expected.... time will tell
anyone can see it...

Turned out that it was only made on the tagline thingy you see in my replies. The Little Mikey posts was based on this but I forgot to make
the change for '1 day'. I only applied it to the '1 bottle' part of
the subject and msg body. It is now fixed.
Now it remains to be seen if there is any problem for the full '99
bottles of beer' countdown which *should* automagically start on 2018-09-24 and continue to '0 bottles of beer' on 2019-01-01. Then
it should fall silent again until 2019-09-24.
The tagline below is triggered by replies or original posts to you. Everyone else gets the "... Don't cry for me I have vi." tagline.

That was the plan. I moved the test to this echo given the lack of
users in the TUXPOWER echo which is probably where it truly belongs. However since you are the only real user I am aware of in the entire network I think this is the better echo.
Probably it will all work as expected.... time will tell
Yes. I might have to find a new thing for Little Mikey to test out
a few other ideas I have for this node but as of this writing I am
unsure of what that might be.
anyone can see it...
In other words, you and I. ;-)
