Perhaps because those who have enough skill to become really interested
in your version of the Twin Paradox already worked it out in the last
go-around.  Not that I mean any disrespect to this version.  But I wasted 3
hours last week working through all sorts of variations on the Twin
Paradox with some mathematician colleagues last week, so I'm twinned
out.  

Just in case it ain't abundantly clear to all those lurkers out there -
the Twin "Paradox" is not a paradox, just an amusing puzzle.
