Exactly...
One needs (should) to either utilize the software ability to select the
dates, or manually reduce the file before sending it.
Everything I do goes to a "central" Logger32 log first. It has the
ability to flag imported files for uploads to the various on-line
services. It also keeps track of the ones already uploaded. So it only
exports small chunks of un-sent contacts. Many logs programs do this as
well.
