Perhaps, but perhaps not, which illustrates the ambiguity of the wording. And interpreting an ambiguous phrase in one way and relying on such interpretation without confirming it is dangerous.It greatly depends on the units you're using. If any products are released in 2008 (which again is not what Mr. Rouse said, this is just for illustration), you could say the product line produced new products through 2008. You could get more detailed to clarify what you mean, to avoid misunderstandings, of course.Think about this: when one refers to the publishing history of 3rd edition (including 3.5), one will write 2000-2008. Does that 2008 imply that products were produced up until December 31, 2008? Or that they started publishing on January 1, 2000? Certainly not.Ultimately this is a quibble over semantics, since Mr. Rouse did not mention 2008 to begin with.</blockquote>
