Okay, can we just stop the stupid millenium arguments? We've got specious arguments from morons who think that choosing an arbitrarily large epsilon proves anything, we've got the people who think that there's anything more than 30 years slop in the event that this calendar system is supposed to measure, we've got people who think that base 10 is a good idea (no idea where *those* people came from, base 36 ala the Mayans makes much more sense if we're gonna base things on the number of fingers), we've got the people who forget about the whole Gregorian/Julian thing. Pick a friggin' date, call it a party, and shut the heck up about it, already. And know that when I'm celebrating my 40th birthday I'll be entering my 5th decade.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
