i'm already a step ahead of you.  i have database architecture in place to
allow the user to control the format themselves.  all the dates (i know of)
displayed on the site reference the user's preference rather than a
hard-coded string.  i just haven't yet built the interface into thesite to
allow the user to set their own date format mask.

thanks,
