Re: Republican Calendar, Year 231

Though Steve objected to something that I said in an earlier post, my own reaction to what I said was much worse than anyone else’s criticism could be. . At first I didn’t understand why I didn’t like what I’d said. But though I meant no implied criticism of a country or its overall population,

Steve: . You said: . [quote] I'm not surprised that he reacted in his quirky way to an unjustified comment. [/quote] . Oh really? Frank was using that same argumentative Internet attack-style, completely uncalled-for, in his initial post to me, before I’d said anything to him: . I

Re: Republican Calendar, Year 231

Yes some of you over there like to rely on exaggeration as an attack-tactic, but in this instance it isn’t an exaggeration. You keep calling Gregorius a hero, but that isn’t an exaggeration. Gregorius & his astronomers saved the Julian Calendar when they restored it’s original seasonal

Dear Michael, I am most grateful to you for pointing out an error in my message. I referred to: > ... your hero Pope Gregory III and you correctly commented: > I doubt that he called himself Gregory... Quite so, BUT you missed a MUCH more serious error. He was neither Gregory III nor

Re: Republican Calendar, Year 231

I tried postings replies to both Frank & Favio in one post, & it didn’t work. Neither reply posted. So now I’m starting over, postings them sseparately. This reply is to Frank, & my reply to Favio will immediately subsequently be posted. I hope that these replies will post this time. Hi Frank—

Re: Republican Calendar, Year 231

Dear Michael The idea of reviving the Rep. Calendar (together with the corresponding Greg. Calendar) is that of an intellectual fun and I would be amazed to discover other implications. There are many calendars still in use in the world even if to give us an appointment it has become common

Re: Republican Calendar, Year 231

Dear Michael, I agree with much of what you say about the French Republican Calendar but, importantly, you say nothing about how this calendar relates to sundials. Let me explain in simple steps: 1. Sketch an outline vertical sundial with seven declination curves and a single hour

Re: Republican Calendar, Year 231

Well, sundials often have solar-declination lines, & the old sundials (& the best modern ones too) often use those declination-lines to demarcate the ecliptic-months (the astrologers’ tropical-signs, from Aries to Pisces), labeled with the old symbols for them. . So that subject is certainly not

Re: Republican Calendar, Year 231

. The first thing I want to emphasize is that calendar-reform is not going to happen. What to do? Just deal with the calendar that we have…the one that we’ve had for two millennia.(…but with its Gregorian-modernized leapyear-system). Don’t waste your time on calendar-reform, because, for one
