well, do you know the term CE (Common Era) vs. the common AD? and BCE
(Before Common Era) vs. BC? i am used to and accept that year counting
with a common base is useful. but setting the year base on some
individual's (inaccurrate) birth year is silly at best. and this thread
is getting way too far from FWP and i expect vicki to come in soon with
a shotgun. :)
