I'd guess that people living near a time zone edge would already be dealing with that... dunno if they'd be using something like MythTV or not, though.... although, granted in that case, they'd be switching at the same time, so things would stay in the same relation to each other... hmmm.. dunno.... BM>>> True: sometimes got rather confusing in the old days with multiple BM>>> people when too much snippage. NB>>> I still see that, where everything is snipped except maybe a line or NB>>> so, and it's hard to remember what the context was.... generally not NB>>> in threads I'm actually involved in, so just a minor annoyance... :) BM>> I've kept some messages (right now thinking from the MythTV conference BM>> -- threads I'm directly involved in but of potential interest later) BM>> and generally too much quoting but occasionally just a line and so BM>> possibly not enough for me to remember what that was supposed to be BM>> about if I need to refer back months later. ...I'll occasionally edit BM>> my copy but usually don't.

Yup, the It Depends Rule applies here... adding, if one has to get somewhere, it's more likely to be done sooner than later... :) Richard's been out today shoveling what came down yesterday and last night... earlier we could get out and back in the driveway ok without shoveling, today he needed to get out for his Monday errands, so he did the shoveling (also a path to the mailbox for the mailman).... There's supposed to be more snow today, we'll see.... ttyl neb .... chocolate lover's 12 step plan: be 12 steps or less from chocolate! --- EzyBlueWave V3.00 01FB001F * Origin: Tiny's BBS - http://www.tinysbbs.com (454:1/452) .
