Dude! Do you really not have anything better to do than police the owners
of time servers and complain to them about one second errors? Hell, I've
seen the USNO itself off by as much as 3.5 seconds. It happens. Deal with
it.

BTW, www.gpsclock.com/check.html lets you check the status of NTP servers on
the net (the ones that don't filter out this kind of intensive polling,
anyway.) Unfortunately it judges the accuracy of the server's time by its
own system clock, which has been off by several hundred ms in the past.
(_Hundreds_ of millisecs! Somebody call the cops!) Pretty cool site
though.

PS Don't bother calling me a moron--I've been called worse by people far
better qualified.
