and it got ignored. I agree with you whole-heartedly. Timestamps
are part of how I keep track of what's going on in the story
chronologically. (Imagine that...)
I live on the West Coast....(Well, Seattle, whihc is for all intents
and purposes the West Coast). Some of the people on ShadowTalk live
on the East Coast or even out of the country. Not that I have
anything against Time Zones, but i think that time stamps should show
west coast time unless they are specifically being sent by a
character outside of the Seattle area. For instance, Freddy Frypp
for a while was posting from the Bahamas (I think.) I never looked,
but I would have expected his posts to be Bahamas time as opposed to
Seattle time. Kevin Prier (AKA Basilisk, who we haven't seen on the
list since he left Switzerland, but I had lunch with him about a
month ago, and he's doing fine...said to say hi.) used to make sure
that his timestamps were Seattle time, and that always impressed me.
Right now, I'm on a two week business trip to Ottawa, and have been
lurking, but I have full ability to post to the list...obviously. I
would be using Seattle time.
Shields is a good decker. He's run with a number of poeple on the
list (Dark Angel, etc.) and I don't think he has ever used an altered
timestamp. He can't do it. (Or rather, he can, but it's a bitch.)
There. I've said what I came to say, and I think it's about as clear
as mud. **GRIN** I tend to babble. Looking for comments...
