Over the past couple of years I have sent three or four postings to the timezone list (tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov), yet my messages just seem to vanish into thin air. Can somebody explain why this might be? Copy of my posting earlier today in response to the "week starts at Sunday or Monday?" question ... ============= For what it's worth, my vote for the best day numbering scheme is... Sun = 0 (& 7) Mon = 1 Tue = 2 Wed = 3 Thu = 4 Fri = 5 Sat = 6 This scheme ties in with Judaeo-Christian tradition without placing too much emphasis on Sunday being day 1. * Whilst this scheme does go against the grain of the Gregorian calendarial system which has month and year counts beginning with 1, not zero. This can be overcome by permitting Sunday to be day number 7 instead of day 0. This is easily dealt with by software. (e.g. with "If WeekDay == 7 then WeekDay = 0") ============= If this posting and the highly pertinent timezone corrections I have supplied in the past is not welcome, then why haven't I received an explanatory response to that effect? Am I perhaps missing some subtle aspect of the list etiquette? Ian Tragen ian@page-1.com http://www.page-1.com
