Ouch. Given the extent of the interaction I - as so many others in this country - have with people living 7, 8, or 10 hours to the West this is not going to be fun. I hope even Poraz is not so stupid. I used to live in a big industrial city that was 1 hour to the East of Moscow (about 30 minutes ahead astronomically). The authorities in that country had no qualms whatsoever about messing with space-time, but at least they did it in the right direction, decreeing that the time should be the same as in Moscow to improve communication. The "decree time" was switched on and off several times, and so was daylight saving time - independently. One amusing effect of that is that I am unable to tell an astrologer the hour of my birth without additional research. It actually helped me to dismiss several offers to create a personal horoscope. ;-) -- Oleg Goldshmidt | [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
