Default Re: Finished adverbs with the present perfect

I don't understand the difficulty with "since...ago". "Five years ago" is as much a definite point in time in the past as "February 2003" is (at the time of writing, they both refer to the same point in time); and you can use "since" to indicate a period starting at that point and continuing up to the present.
