hey <@Glinda>. Thanks for the feedback. Will definitely look at implementing a better solution. The date submitted by the form is from a javascript date selector so should be formatted the same every time. But agree with you I should find a better solution.

Couple of problems I might not be understanding correctly. 1. You aren't sure if you are getting an iterator or a iterable. In the first case you exhaust your iterable when you compare. The second case you can do a good check later. 2. You are always getting an iterator and will always run into the exhausted iterato...

So in the case that you actually have an iterable you don't need to worry about exhausting your iterable. This leads us to how do you deal with exhausting an iterable? Well one way is to create an iterable like a list, but this gets rid of the advantages of an iterable- the returned contents could be really large.
