Dwight, Thank you for your answer.
I don't need a reminder after a due date,* I wonder* why do I need to set a reminder after a due date, as allowed by MLO algorithm. You answered: " (...) *some people use due date for the date on which I actually intent to perform this task. In that case, if time has passed and the task is still not done, it's possible that I missed it and needs a reminder"* I respect your point of view, but I would change due date (even start date) so that the reminder would be set always before the new due date, and this way I would always remember that I have to perform it. Yet, when a task is no longer meaningful it gets red, and I consider this a useful feature of MLO. This the visual "alert" which makes me reconsider recall such tasks, and redefine them or perform as soon as possible. I agree with your last paragraph, for sure.
