Re: how to exclude several single dates from a diary block

[Rainer Thiel <r.thiel@uni-jena.de>]

Thanks for the answer.  I used to do this, too, and am aware of this
possibility.  I find it kind of clutters up the org file and was happy
to find a way to avoid this.  I will return to this if I need to, but
would prefer to adapt the more elegant way to do it, if there is a
way.

Many thanks again

Rainer
