Brij: Let me echo what Jim says below. My impression of you is that you're a nice person. However, my view of your ideas has progressed from amusing, to tiresome, to annoying. I've kept reading them (now and then), because there's a certain frisson to be experienced when one looks at something with puzzled disbelief. It reminds me of Victor Meldrew's frequent, "I don't beLIEVE it," in the BBC TV series, One Foot in the Grave.
However, in the fictitious Victor Meldrew's case, he was addressing a series of different unbelievable experiences (where he seemed to always be the victim), not repetitions of the same one. As Jim suggests, it's time to find a more receptive forum (if there is one) for your ideas.

We must be due for my monthly reminder to you that you are pushing your revised units for time in the wrong forum, Brij. I know that some people on this list already screen out your messages and if I see one more like this one about your redefinition of time units I will do likewise.
