more or less [OT]: A new standard for lists?

I subscribe to one other list which I am confident is not on Yahoo. It is probably hosted by East Carolina University. I have been lurking for about 10 years and been able to re-subscribe as my e-mail address changed. It is active on only about half of the days, often in a flurry when a specific topic is widely discussed. The primary purpose seems to be the modification of the rules for the current CE (aka the Gregorian) Calendar. The most important point I learned is that there is a very slow drift in the alignment of the CE Calendar with the Spring Equinox of approximately one day in 1600 years, i.e. around 3600 CE, the Spring Equinox will occur, on average, one day earlier in the year than at present, all others things being equal. The suggestion to modify the rules for the CE Calendar is to drop the Leap Year for years divisible by 2000. However, long term predictions also suggest that by 10,000 CE, that modification will be totally inadequate. 99.999999999999999999999% of everyone else I have discussed this with point out that we will all be dead by 2100 CE, let alone 3600 CE or 4000 CE. So let them take care of the situation when it arrives. PLUS, these predictions are so likely to change that there is really no point in attempting to develop a solution for at least another 1000 years until there is more data available - or when no solution is needed in any case.
