Have you try typing in 2000 or 00 in the expire date field of a user?
Answer is, it doesn't work. 2000 returns with 80(Is that 1980 or 2080)?
00 returns with invalid date. I think putting 100+ into date for year is 
stupid at that.  I would like to see able to type in 2000 or 00 for 2000, 
keeping with this current style currently available.  My program cooluser 
does it, so I fail to see why yours can't?
I think your get flamed by sysop's if don't keep with one style of date 
try.
