Well Ken - you have a point! When I get my family history back to 1752 I
might start to worry.

Email is the worst medium for rational discussion - long treastises are hard
to read on the screen, and brevity can lead to misunderstandings <g>

But it - defining a day in history - really is important. My comment about
robins and eagles was serious - and if two different systems are in use
someone needs arbitrate and state authoritativley which system should be
used. Family historians won't get taken seriously by "real" historians if
they decide to use a different system.

But we ain't going to put the world right here!
