Apologies for the nitpick, but that's the sort of Math. error that bedevils
me....2000 years before 1986 is -14, no? -986 would be 986+1986 = 2972 yrs
prior. Unless, of course, _I'm_ mistaken......
You can't imagine the difficulties I'm having, now that I've tentatively
added 3 hours 8 mins (Cindu time) to their year. I _think_ it means that we
need 3 leap-years in every 19 year period. An amusingly irregular idea,
but... Unless, of course, I'm mistaken......
