 * Post Expirator version 2.3.1.1
 * I noticed that posts are not being deleted at the date/time specified.
 * On the Post Expirator plugin’s Settings / Diagnostics page, I found the following
   list of postExpiratorExpire CRON jobs. I don’t understand why some of the scheduled
   execution dates/times are so far apart.

 * I understand now that the dates/times are for when specific posts should be deleted.
   
   I originally thought they were the dates/times when a scan to expire posts would
   occur.
 * I need to do more research with debugging enabled before I post again.

 * After research, I found that I had mistakenly left the expiration year as the
   default value 2018 when I should have changed it to 2017.
