0 They just don't mean the same to me. Obviously they don't in a complete sentence. In a context like:02br
00"date: 30-03-07" or "dated: 30-07-07" 02br
00for me the main difference is that the first form can indicate more generally a date associated to an event, it depends from the context. The second one, on the other hand, refers to the day in which you filled a form,
