Easy???? Ack! Can you imagine the 'Conference to Establish the Year One?' Every non-Christian religious group would want to start the calendar on the birthday of their founding prophet or divinity. Then you'd have the completely non-religious types who would have their own particular favourite starting point in history, none of which would agree. My personal preference would be the beginning of time. I don't even know what the date is on the Matt or Jeroen calendars, and if I started my own according to my birth date, I would probably have started lying about the date about 10 years ago so no one would know how old I am!<br>
