Hello List Members, Concerning attachments sent to this mailing list--didn't we endure a lengthy discussion some time back about whether or not attachments should be allowed, and, if so, what should be the maximum size permitted? Forgive me if I misremember, but wasn't it decided that attac

I think attachments (less than 200K) are fine. The recipient can make the choice whether to download them or not. This is a useful way to share ideas. When Tony Moss sends large files, he first invites (via this list) people who want them to reply personally, and then he sends them the files

Greetings fellow dialists, You don't have to have a clear sky on the actual day you are wishing to mark sunrise or sunset. Martin Brennan in his book "The Stones of Time" showed elegantly how the people at Newgrange in Ireland did it five thousand years ago with the rising solsticial sun shining

Hello Peter, Wow, The Dodwell dial is amazing! I wish I had some better pictures so that I could see it in some more detail. The surfaces appear to be of the "Astroid/Evolute of an Ellipse" type. I assume the "unwinding of the analemma" is by multiple gnomons? This has given me an idea fo
