In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Tony Finch writes: It seems that the reason my MSF clock didn't switch to DST was its position - moving it allowed it to resync correctly.

[LEAPSECS] Risks Digest DST articles
LEAPSECS own Tony Finch has a couple of time related contributions in the current ACM Risks Digest, including a cartoon lampooning daylight saving time: http://catless.ncl.ac.uk/Risks/25.10.html#subj4 ...as well as a more serious DST proposal, quite worthy of our consideration: http://catless.ncl.ac.uk/Risks/25.10.html#subj1 Those interested might start by first reading a slightly more speculative contribution (Australia NZ should totally abandon Daylight Savings Time) from a different author: http://catless.ncl.ac.uk/Risks/25.10.html#subj5 Glad to see timekeeping issues receive the widespread attention they deserve.
