Now you're really showing your age. Actually, some of us just turned temporarily sane and didn't have anything to contribute. I couldn't respond to the time proposals because, being an astronomer, there are enough humo(u)rless individuals around who might not see it as appropriate (and I don't need to be fired this week). Although I'm very disappointed that I didn't get to hang out at 5220m in Tibet with the site survey people who went last year, and even more so that our follow-on South Pole project seems to be doomed so I won't be going back there, and although my latest trip was only Cambridge (the real one) and Munich (gosh, does EVERYONE in Germany still smoke ?), there is a chance I'm going to be shipped out to 10000feet in Chile some time this year. So now I shall comment that the person who made "everyone's gone to the moon" was a student at Cambridge University (the real one) who declared that he was going to make a million his first long vacation (that's his summer off to you ignorami), went out and made that record, and did indeed do as declared.

I think the Loonian System sounds promising; as with any new way of doing things, it will meet with considerable opposition (which could be at least somewhat reduced by changing the name - most of the general public will not take seriously anything calling itself "Loony"). It's a shame people are that way, but what can you do? As for the new voting system, it sounds utterly ingenious. If we can implement this plan before the next election, I just might actually vote. Next time everyone goes to the moon, I hope I will be invited to come along. I hate getting left out.

As to the name (Loony Time, Loony Cartography, Loonian Calendar), these were chosen because the concepts were developed within the Official Monster Raving Loony Party. Actually, the time concept was originally called "decimal" time when it was first developed by Lord David Sutch and Baron von Thunderclap. When I redid the structure, I decided to rename it with the Loony moniker in honour and memory of Lord Sutch. Personally, I'd have no problem renaming Loony Time or Loony Cartography to Decimal Time and Decimal Cartography. However, I do think that the Loonian Calendar should remain with that name. This is in keeping with the old calendar names (Julian, Gregorian) which are named after their creators. Besides, it is a lot more fun this way. I thank you for your encouraging comments.

Dr. Attembaum,

I agree, most progress meets with opposition.  = As to the name (Loony Time, Loony Cartography, Loonian Calendar), these = were chosen because the concepts were developed within the Official = Monster Raving Loony Party.  Actually, the time concept was = originally called "decimal" time when it was first developed = by Lord David Sutch and Baron von Thunderclap.  When I redid the = structure, I decided to rename it with the Loony moniker in honour and = memory of Lord Sutch.  Personally, I'd have no problem renaming = Loony Time or Loony Cartography to Decimal Time and Decimal = Cartography.  However, I do think that the Loonian Calendar should = remain with that name.  This is in keeping with the old calendar = names (Julian, Gregorian) which are named after their creators.  = Besides, it is a lot more fun this way.

I thank you for your encouraging comments.
