in reply to Valid date in regex only

This gets today's "using a screwdriver for a hammer" award from me.

Please don't do this in public. It's embarassing. Wrong tool. Really wrong tool.

    Well, you are absolutely right. It is the wrong tool for the job. I was aware of that. I knew that it is the wrong tool and that is why I described the circumstances. The difference you make by restating this without acknowledging my awarenes of that fact is I now do feel embarassed. I have used gold-plated screws as ordinairy nails. There were no nails available. But I should have kept it a secret? Oh, well. I still like your other writings.

    regards,
