OFFICIAL NOTICE: Opting out of "birthdays":
This is my official public notice that from this point forward I am
opting out of the birthday concept in all online communications,
public and private. Specifically affected are all references to, and
effects of, the birthday concept, including but not limited to
acknowledgments of birth date, wishes of cheer pertaining to said
acknowledgment, and responding to similar acknowledgment and/or wishes
from others towards me.
For the purposes of this dictum:
"Birthday concept" refers to the treatment of a person's date of birth
as a notable date of special acknowledgment or celebration; and
"Online" refers to email, instant messaging, social networking, text
messaging, and all forms of electronic communication, and specifically
excludes verbal communications (either in person or by telephone) and
hard-copy written, as in the case of physical cards.
Signed electronically on this date by my hand,
The 6th day of March, 2009
Daniel A. "danielo" Foster
