I see. And how would such intolerance come into effect? The little old lady who will eventally walk to church in the dark on winter Sundays has been suggested, but that was rather tongue-in-cheek :) I'd say the little old lady's tolerance for maximum drifting DUT is no less than a minute or two, because her watch isn't that accurate anyhow and she sets it from time to time. _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list LEAPSECS@leapsecond.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
