It sounds a lot more like you have no idea what caliber of
people you are talking to Bill.

I have spent 25 years doing all sorts of computing, starting out
with industrial control on a 20 bit transistor computer and over
the years I have been through all sorts of companies doing everything
from invoice generation and 4000/s document procssing systems to
supercomputing and clusters.

You on the other hand are exactly the kind of programmer which makes
me say that leapseconds is the wrong solution because 99% or more
of the worlds programmers, you included, just doesn't grasp the
issue.

It takes a lot to elevated to my killfile, but you are preciously
close now.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
