[time-nuts] Posting style Was: looking for gooddescription/generalized model for time adjustments

[J. Forster]

Two reasons not to do it:

First, not every one has broadband.

I delete most posts, keeping only those of interest, and filing them
locally. I don't want to plow through all posts to refind something.
