That sounds extremely logical. Does that mean you can confirm the birth of the deceased or the beginning of his death?

No matter, most people won’t understand what he means.

On a funnier note: does anybody know what he means by “Have A Green Day”?

Seeing this is a reminder, I wonder how many people actually respond to this e-mail. I should imagine that some people would actually believe they failed to get previous messages.
