Something else to consider. The list is having their usual chats back and
forth between the various members until a situation occurs. Then the entire
list focuses on that one member at once. Now you have posts right and left
and the member focused on is overwhelmed and the list gets frustrated and
all the rest as stated below happens.

Clearly, a reading of posts out of order may be part of it. Also, many
here, seldom, but occasionally including me, respond to posts in date
order as they read them, without looking ahead in the thread. If lots
has happened in the thread in the meantime, a failure to recognize that
the "new" post is, in effect, and "old" post arriving late to the party,
may lead to confusion.

I have done the same thing for many years. And Dimension4 looks fine for
the purpose, but I will continue using TimeRC until some future
operating system doesn't support it. I like it because it displays moon
phases and other moon data and meteor showers.
As far as I know, it was last updated with ver. 3.0 in 1999. It's
support site is long gone, but it is still available on download sites.
It's tiny and always works. I suppose its database of moon and meteor
shower info will run out one day, although for all I know, it taps into
an ongoing source.

The most attractive clock in my house is also the least accurate, a
Jeager-LeCoultre Atmos, which is powered by temperature changes. But my
goodness it's a beautiful piece of brass and glass. Sort of the OM-1 or
Mx of clocks.
