[LEAPSECS] How good could civil timekeeping be?

[Rob Seaman]

Just trying to get caught up before my team meeting in 5 minutes, so  
the intervening topics come down to:

I'm bemused how replying to your messages leads to an inference that I  
regard you as the former, not the latter.

As you can be persuaded to retain leap seconds, I can be persuaded to  
dispense with them as long as UTC remains a flavor of universal time,  
that is, of mean solar time.
