I am still in the thinking about this phase... I am not sure what your mean by 'logical progression' etc. Do you mean the current state or the ideal future state that the frightening email thread alludes to?
I was under the impression that the Pataphysical calendar was basically a fictional one that parodies the French Catholic calendar (http://user.icx.net/~richmond/rsr/pataphysique/pataphysique.html). Are you suggesting that it is useful for business calculations? Your point about the variable fiscal year start dates is a good one though. We definitely need to take that into account. -ben On Fri, Jun 20, 2003 at 11:50:20AM -0400, Jesse Shy wrote: > I read the thread as you suggested Ben; now I am veryh afraid.
