There seems to be a discrepancy in your article athttp://home.comcast.net/~mlfasf.

In paragraph 4 you have the traveler accelerating away from the earth
at 1g for a period of two years his time then coasting for 9 years.

In paragraph 5 he accelerates at -1g for two years [...]

You apparently misread the 5th paragraph...it actually says that
he accelerates at -1g for 3 years, not 2. When he starts that
acceleration, his speed is 0.968c (moving away from his twin).
When he finishes that acceleration, his speed is -0.774c (moving
toward his twin).

Thank you, I did make that mistake - reading 2 years ilo the 3 years
you specified.
