Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

You posted that on purpose, right?

t Does arithmetic. Wonders if dcp has gotten all the timezone news

Ok. I count on my fingers. It is not even 20:30, board time.
I think one (perhaps both) of us have stayed up too late. I'm gonna get some sleep, if I can.

Sorry, folks. Arithmetic boys have to do these things.
11:19:45 + 9 = 20:19:45. Is this less than 20:30:00?
In most worlds, yes.

Clock arithmetic:
Why did you add +9 to board time?
Board time was 11:19:45 pm PDT = 23:19:45 PDT Saturday
PDT+7 = GMT
23:19:45 PDT Saturday = 06:19:45 GMT Sunday = 07:19:45 Sunday morning Bern local time (GMT+1, as per your post #2444 in Natter).
A clock that turns 23:19:45 PDT into "not even 20:30" would have to be in, say, Samoa.
Aha! Gus, that sly dog, has escaped his staid Swiss employers and is secretly loafing on the beach!

More clock arithmetic.
OK, I look at the post where I said it was eight pm board time, and right above it, the post's timestamp saying it is 11. First drunken error.
It is around 5:30 PM here. In LA, it is around 8:30 AM. That is eight hours. Ah. Holy crap. Second drunken error.
23:19 is in fact greater than 20:30. I checked. Twice.
Third drunken error: arguing math with dcp.

What were you drinking last night, Gus? Absinthe?

Too much uisge-bragh. I'm swearing off the stuff. Well, for a week or so. I recently made another arithimetic error here on the board (I forget where), and earlier this week miscalculated a tip (in the waiter's favor, luckily). I think my brain could use a little less pickling.

All is well that ends in pizza.
