Sorry to be picky, but it all seems rather confusing.
Hi Chris,
To be honest I became quite sad reading this answer. I just consider
your message a way to roughly underline and to impolitely show to the
community my mistake in english writing thAn being of help in
understanding the hwclock behavior. I don't think that phrase - even
with a thAn replacing thEn - can lead to misunderstanding because - if I
am not wrong - there is nothing to compare inside the phrase. And, also,
if some misunderstanding could arise some experiments along with reading
of the man page show you what I meant - _if one's willing is to
understand_.
Nonetheless, I appreciate the fact that my grammar's error came up : one
must learn from his errors.
In case anyone else has been confused or driven to a wrong way by my
mistake, pardonnez moi please !
As it sometimes happens - and this is the case - only the bad things are
noticed not the good ;)
cheers
