In article <1992Dec08.213725.23705@oneb.almanac.bc.ca>, I commented on my
new renewal date with ICBC.

After calling Customer Service, who pointed out that the new date was for
1993, rather than 1992, I feel pretty foolish :-(

They mentioned that they had received a few hundred calls like mine, which
only goes to show stupidity isn't limited to computer geeks :-)
