[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2524167, member: 1892"]Well, I think we can discount the Inverted Date via date placement. That's one down. When I capture the image and blow it up in post (as any cherrypicker should be able to do), I don't_quite_think I see appropriate date placement for at least the last 8 and likely the whole thing.
