<p>[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 3017283, member: 75937"]I don't know these issues, so take this with a grain of salt, but that may not be a year 10 issue. The number 9 in Greek is represented by a theta. Theta is, of course, the first letter of the word <i>thanatos</i>, meaning <i>death</i>. It was considered an unlucky letter and often other combinations of numbers were used to represent it. I wonder if delta (4) epsilon (5) is just such a combination and that's a year 9 issue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
