You say "people will stop caring", but I assert that the people who would act as you predict never cared in the first place. It doesn't make sense to me than an individual with an altruistic bent would suddenly become completely selfish once their own needs are fulfilled.

(Though it occurs to me now that there ought to be another digit there in case I need to mail two or more in one day. Hm.)

I use TLA#### where #### starts at 0001 and increases by one with each invoice to that client. Keeping the date and the invoice number separate seems like a good idea to me, although I can argue it both ways.

I've been using the format for 5 years without a problem. Having the date in the ID helps me with my bookkeeping and general organization.

However, any old invoice ID will work if your methodical about your bookkeeping.

Yeah, I'm now considering changing to the system you suggest... I'm pretty strict about my book-keeping (I can hear my accountant laughing in the background) so it's been no big deal, but I have had one invoice that was incorrectly numbered. That makes an argument for using dates, as it is obvious that you are out of sequence. I don't use any invoicing software, so everything is done by hand, and that does make the date-based system superior.

I can't read about transhumanism without thinking of Malcolm Reynold's statement in Serenity: "They will swing back to the belief that they can make people better. And I do not hold with that."
