I hope that this time of the year, starting today and ending in three months on the day, with its many different celebrations of the prevalence of good and of the new year, all having a strong emphasis on friendship and good wishes, will also bring good times to the forums in every way.

I send my best wishes to everyone that reads this, banned or not, here at the beginning of this long night, with snow glittering under the new moon.

Phillip,

That's the way it goes in the Video Lounge. They'll eat anything, when they run out of Yoodles!

I've even seen a few tooth marks on the dusty plastic plant - gotta' get that thing out of there.

Actually you need 2 more post to be official, but who's counting.

I am couple of hundred or so  passing the one fifth mark. I figure based on mu posting speed to get to that point  it will be about 20 years or so before I get to to that point.

Some of these people must stick to computer so much ,they must type while sitting the john.

Maybe Obama will send a stimulus package to Adobe to help get these forums up to speed. Comcast 100MBS, Quad processors, 32G RAM, and still these run like dial-up. Everything else on the internet runs like greased lightning except for just the few sites that are weighed down with improperly designed formats, like this, that act like something is taking forever to load. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for Obama to help.

He would be better off telling them on TV they had better get their act together or else he is going to replace the All the officers, CEO, and BOD just like he did at GM.  And then do it. And to make it painful not allow any severance pay what so ever. That way they will go from making 10 million a year , to zero a year.

Gotta love that Obama. He knows how to get things done.

Put some of those unemployed graphics and web engineers to work restoring the forums to the way that really worked.

Hail to the Chief.

Thank you very much, Claudio.

By the way, up until 1752 it would still have been 3 days till New Year in Great Britain, except for Scotland where the switch was in 1600.

Yes, 25 March is Lady Day - exactly nine months before the birth of Jesus. The day on which annual contracts were renewed (or not). When the calendar was changed, the Chancellor of the Exchequer was worried that he would miss out on twelve days' worth of taxes, so the fiscal New Year's day was moved with the calendar to 6 April, where it still remains in many cases although for most practical purposes it has recently been relocated to 1 April. Today's nugget of useless information.

Noel,

Maybe your history lesson has something to do with it, or maybe not, but in the US, mid-April is a special time - TAX Time on April 15. Now, our IRS (the tax collectors) do not allow us to celebrate, as one might a New Year, but in many respects, it does signal the final, "end of the old year."

Curious.

To add another useless nugget: those nine months are 39 weeks and 2 days or 275 days. A full term of 40 weeks or 280 days would move Lady Day back to 20 March, in other words vernal equinox (at  least this year); a present day average period (according to certain institutions established some time after the event in question) of 38 weeks and 6 days or 272 days would move Lady Day forward to 28 March; but there was less hurry in the old days.

Well... on the subject of New Year's... several parts of India have their New Year starting around mid-April... give or take a couple of days here and there between the various parts...

The Government and business financial New Year starts on April 1 (April 1 - March 31). Earlier companies could set their own financial years but this was regularised a few years ago (yup for tax purposes naturally!).

In Northern India, the financial years starts with the festival of Divali... traditionally falling sometime between October and November. However, this is now, really symbolic rather than practical. Old account books –  largely empty – are closed, and new ones opened... all of which are accompanied by pujas (religious rites).
