No, actually you are right. The "Chance of not being used" will rapidly
decrease after Jan 20th. So yes, this does say that after Jan 20th, chance
of being used will increase. Sure we understand what is meant though.

Hey all,
Delurking to point out what I think is a grammatical
flaw.

I think this means that the longer you wait after Jan
20th the chances of being included INCREASE.
Of course I could be wrong. I'm not connected with
this in any way.
==================================

Hee, Hee.  That's why you have to watch out for those double negatives.

Jeff et al., Thanks for this opportunity to participate in the development 
of Poseidon.

Happy holidays and best wishes for the new year.

Jeb
