Not directly related, but your post reminds me of MJD's Universe of Discourse blog entry, Watch out for the Calendar Geeks, and an article he linked to therein, Mistakes on the Internet will not happen for another 823 years.

Fortunately it seems the facts you've presented aren't in the category they're discussing (ie, not factually incorrect).

When I get a moment I'll set an annual event on Feb 29th in my Blackberry and my Google calendars to see how it's handled.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
