@iaenen: That would be news to my wife. After all, I just bought a custom-made gas tank for a roofless car I use like 12 times a year. I have ZERO will power.
When this trend of calling Fedex on M9 came about, I was truly flabbergasted that finding out 1 day in advance was so important to people. As if that 1 day was going to make any difference in either the outcome or what they would do with the information.
This is not about “planning” — unless you are planning on how to handle things when your kid gets the news on M10. This is about wanting to know before the school wants you to know.
