In-Reply-To: <CAL1eYuKa0NB=c-yPovOUvi44LQtFtyN1etv_mkTHsgHFEQG1GA@mail.gmail.com> (numbchild@gmail.com's message of "Sat, 13 Jan 2018 10:06:45 +0800")

Thanks; oddly, that works.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
*** TODO Personal Meeting
    DEADLINE: <2018-01-10 Wed 16:00 .+2w>--<2018-04-18 Wed>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I still get a daily count on every day in the interim:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(8/99):  TODO Personal Meeting
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But I suppose I can work around that. Oddly, it doesn't seem to 
work with plain dates or with SCHEDULED: . Any idea why?
