I'm sure he will. Remember, that online almanac is simply a means of advertising his commercial products. And not only is there nothing wrong that, it's a good thing since it will practically guarantee that he will fix the problem. In the meantime, why worry? My online almanac suffers from none of these problems and offers other options, too.
