Here's a story for you. My old company created a Dutch site like FriendsReunited, except

better (was the market leader here).

We invited feedback emails as we loved hearing stories of reunions and how we could make the site even better for the user.

One day we received an extremely patronising email from some bloke telling us that the date on home page was 2 months out.

The date on his email was also 2 months out.

We framed it and put it up in the company kitchen.

(The date is Javascript which means it is running on your computer, not theirs, and simply shows the date your computer thinks it is).
