Here's an experiment in science reporting on the Internet... I invite those of 
you who are interested to post (or attempt to post) a comment on this 
article:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/science/article5361670.ece

...regarding its claim that navigation by sextant would become "almost 
impossible" if leap seconds were dropped from the calendar. Totally false, of 
course. But my attempts to say so have been censored, or so it seems. I left 
three comments saying this in various ways over the course of a week, all as 
generous as I could be, but they have been deleted. I suspect that 
timesonline.co.uk simply refuses to accept direct contradictions of its 
reporting. But maybe it's just an accident of timing... Perhaps if some of 
you post equivalent comments, yours will be posted.
