Was the 71 years in the future thing chosen to mean that if 03-24-97 is a
monday, so is 03-24-58? What day is it up in shadowtime? And what about
leap years? They'd be out of sync with the current timing, unless I'm
seriously misinformed.

How about this: can the list server be made to send out a message once a
day, at a couple of seconds after midnight, saying that today is
>>shadowtime day<<, the date is >>shadowtime date<<, and so on? Is
a
function of this sort possible? And does anyone care enough to do it?
