In playing with creating a pledge on the sandbox, I unintentionally switched the start and pledge made dates.  We shouldn't allow such irrational dates but give a warning instead:

I take it back.  That is good thinking - there are occasionally some who make pledges into the the beginning of our year that actually have back dated start dates.  Not common but useful.

It's not an error, it's a feature!!
