Well, judging from the reactions I've received regarding using uniform
time stamps for all postings, I believe that it would be a Bad Thing{tm}
to do.

First, the best time would be to use GMT, which means that everyone would
have to figure out where they are in regards to GMT. Many people voiced
complaints that they didn't want to do that.

I guess time isn't that big a deal and I don't really feel it is something
we need to concern ourselves with.

So, in the future, you can continue using your local time without
problems. If you wish, you could also post using GMT. If you do, just
add GMT to your ID string, such as:

-- Joseph Yoshida <17:48:13 GMT / 03-15-54>

Any questions? please ask
