I'd like to respectfully request that we [here at Mudcat} get this "Midnight Today" thing permanently cleared up. Midnight is considered the START of the day, isn't it? So the midnight that's rolling around tonight is actually midnight tomorrow-- "Closes at Midnight Tonight (EST)" is certainly correct, but that will make it Dec. 1, won't it?

This plays hell with trying to be sure what night to watch the auction at the last minute. Maybe it's just me, in which case straighten my naggy ass out, but I find it very confusing.
