The way I read this, it's not logically possible. You want to set
expiration date based on their previous expiration date (or member
status, which is derived from it). But, member status is derived from
expiration date, so you get a circular calculation. Humans can deal
with this kind of situation, but it's too much to ask of a
silicon-based life form.
Anyone see a way around this?
