I just tried "january 2008" in quotes and got back only 28 hits, with just those two words in them. However, it is apparently only that phrase. I got "january of 2008" and "january - 2008" as well, so maybe it does a little "close-enough" checking?
I'm not sure it's fair to use the "L" word, let alone in conjunction with the "V" word for it. Simon worked long and hard to make it available as it stands. Suggestions are reasonable, but keep in mind he wrote this puppy himself -- it's not a purchased package.
