It seems you haven't read my previous post (25) above. The example
given on my page http://www.physicsmyths.org.uk/timedilation.htm does
not depend on any signal propagation time.

And just for your information, I have an M.Sc. in Physics and a Ph.D.
in Astronomy, so I should have a sufficient background in Relativity to
make my own judgements here. If you are not happy with them that's your
problem, but don't try to discredit other peoples views without
actually giving some valid scientific arguments.
