huh?
every year(time around the sun) takes ~ 365.25 days long
which is why we have leap years

Leap Years are needed to keep our modern day Gregorian Calendar in alignment with the Earth's revolutions around the sun. It takes the Earth approximately 365.242199 days – or 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds – to circle once around the Sun. This is called a tropical
year.
what are you talking about subtraction?
I think you are confusing revolutions of the earth making a complete spin and the time it takes for the earth to travel completely around the sun
leap year is once every 4 years, because of the above stated fact
back to moderation of threads
why does it matter?
why do we have police saying, OMG THIS IS NOT WHAT THIS THREAD IS ABOUT!
I'm constantly reminded of a scene from Seinfeld
Jerry: Hey!
George: I want your honest opinion about something.
Jerry: Have I ever been less than forthright?
George: No, you haven't. Well, maybe you have. What do I know.
Jerry: Yeah, I probably have. Yeah, of course I have. What am I talking about?
George: All right. Okay, tell me what you think about this idea: Extend the doors on the toilet stalls at Yankee Stadium all the way to the floor.
Jerry: Extend the doors on the toilet stalls at Yankee Stadium to the floor ...door comes down. Hides your feet. Yes. I like it. I like it a lot.
George: It's good, right?
Jerry: I think it's fantastic. I think it's a fantastic idea.
George: You do?
Jerry: Yes, I do.
George: Well, I told it to Susan: before, and she didn't like it.
Jerry: Hmm.
George:
Yeah. Not only that, this is what she said to me, "Can we change the subject?"
Jerry: See, now that I don't care for.
George: Right. I mean, we're on a subject. Why does it have to be changed?
Jerry: It should resolve of its own volition.
George: That's exactly what I said, except I used the word "momentum".
Jerry: Momentum - same thing.
George: Same thing
why does it matter that people go off on tangents as the thread matures....
I understand not allowing topics such as kid or drugs, etc and other off limit topics/pics. as legal issues MAYBE
but to give a member demerits for going off on tangents?
give me a break
