So, it could happen than in the year 4000, we get an       international calendar mess as has happened while switching to the       Gregorian calendar. Meaning maybe March 1st, 4000 in some countries will       be February 29th in other countries. Hopefully, 1977 years will be       enough to get an agreement and resolve the matter.                     Alain Fournier              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
