Hey Mary, Thanks for the reply.

My issue with recurrences is the fact that they are required to have a due 
date.  So the importance of a recurrence is automatically higher because it 
has a due date then something that doesn't.  It really shouldn't. There are 
two reasons for this"

I don't want the recurrence to be more important then tasks without a due 
date in something like computed score..

Also, I don't want the recurrence or its subtasks to show up in my "due 
date" view.  They are not real due dates.

GTD and a number of other task methodologies discourages against 
artificially creating due dates for things that don't really need them.  MLO 
recurrences are an example of things that shouldn't by default have a due 
date.  They should only have a due date if they really need one.

Mary your work around could possibly handle tasks in the "due date" view.  
But creating due dates for recurrences longer then my 31 day view makes my 
head "asplode"...

And it really doesn't deal with the sorting issue, though.  A due date of 
next year will show up with a higher priority then a task without a due 
date.  So workarounds for recurrence due dates won't be 100% successful...
