Thanks Charlie, I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I did read that page, and that paragraph. Perhaps part of my confusion stems from the fact that using the start-min is now limited to events that start from Jan 1970. This makes it impossible to get grandpa's birthday event, and an entire (large) class of events that start before Jan 1970. Therefore the start-min approach must not be used. The only way to get all of the events from Google is by using a last-modified time of zero (or some date before Google existed). When synchronizing, Google indirectly gets hooked up to the sync chain of every firmware revision of every sync-capable cell phone/PDA/software/etc.. ever made and all of their bugs. Bulk calendar refreshes are going to happen, and it would be nice if I could get just the non-deleted/cancelled events. It's not a show stopper, and it just causes folks to wait an extra 13 minutes for Google to respond with 800 or so deleted/cancelled events (I do not know what the average number is). It would be nice if that didn't have to happen though.
