Eric: What exactly was your problem with that post?
Me: You said earlier that it would take a while to find that information. How could you say that if you didn't know what information to find?
I once caught Eric scoffing at calculations based on the basic principle of a sundial, and saying information from the US Naval Observatory was just something randomly found on Google.
