Mike, taking things out of context is a silly way to argue. I think I defened my position rationally in my first post, which I sent against my better judgement because Magnus asked for it again. The reason for my better judgement is that these discussions invariably turn into a screaming/flaming/hate match between people like Warner and myself who have actually had to spend too much of our life dealing with the real-world issues that leap-seconds cause, and people on the other side which have a very thin grasp of what life is like in the murky corners of the IT departments and real-world life-critical installations. Which was the context, no amply proven, of the line you took out of context. You _really_ have no idea Mike... -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list [email protected] https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
