Clearly a troll. The fact is just the opposite. Leap years
are a correction to the calendar. Leap seconds are a correction
to the clock, not the calendar.

I may have misspoke but this was not a troll.

If Paul *is* a troll, he's one of those cute, pudgy little
trolls with primary-colored hair, not one of those mean, nasty
creatures who post to generate heat and flames.

Thank you, I think.
