   Hey Tony!   
      
    TL> Maintaining nanosecond synchronisation with latency and jitter of   
    TL> intervening links orders of magnitude greater is tricky!   
      
   I imagine so.  If I suggested nanosecond synchronisation it was    
   nintentional.  All I suggested was exploitation of a precision that is already   
   built into the system.  I never meant to suggest that it was or that it be   
   accurate.  Did I?  I believe the only suggestion of nanosecond accuracy on my   
   part was in a possible future where we become visionaries.   
      
    TL> I was thinking something like millisecoond accuracy.   
      
   I am guessing we already have that accuracy.  However we do have access to %N   
   which, albiet of questionable accuracy, offers increased uniqueness at no   
   additional cost.  Why not exploit it?   
      
    TL> But where do we have to be unique? On a single system? Across all   
    TL> systems?   
      
   Everywhere for all time.  :-)   
      
    TL> causing time to pass more slowly here.   
      
   Stinkin' gravity!
