The bug report is not about the clarity of an already-late reminder.
The problem is that it was late for me, it will be late for a few
hundred other posters after me, and it will be late for a few hundred
posters after them unless something is done about it. Hence the bug
report. Hopefully a presubscription FAQ or guide could at least curb
such problems.
