Did I miss something, or did licenses go back to being good for a calander year from the date they were issued?

Yes, they went back to being good for the calendar year in that same 2012-005 Bulletin last year.

You mean good for the calendar year in which they're issued, right?

The current wording really doesn't make sense. "Calendar year" refers to Jan 1-Dec 31. So " a Calendar Year from date issued" doesn't really convey that clearly.

Yeah, there should have been an "effective" between "Year" and "from". This will be fixed in next year's book.

I have always been an optimist. I believe you must be an optimist in order to get anything done but there is a limit to optimism, don't you think?

It isn't really an optimism thing. I start work on the next year's book as soon as the first bulletin against the current book is released. It makes it easier to write bulletins that correct previous bulletins from the same year. Also, it spreads the work on the next year's book out over the year rather than trying to do it all at once.

The obvious point that I was being obvious about was thinking that there will be a Wawwy Amewica next year..
We all know it is in free fall...

I like working on the rules. I was doing this kind of thing even during the period between when I got pissed off at Doug Robinson and stopped editing the SCCA book, and when I started helping RA with the rules after they didn't do a 2006 rule book.

Besides, there is always the chance that RA will survive or, if they don't, someone could pick up the pieces.

But, then again, some of my best work as a software engineer is in dead-and-gone products.
