I think I'll tuck this little code nugget away. :-)

One question though, should you drop the members as you
remove them or are the actions possibly referenced by other
objects?

Also, if this was a repeating schedule, would the code above
just remove those actions not yet completed in the current
repeat cycle?

Thanks!
