Just doesn't seem like a hill worth dying for.
Some time back, I saw a fun discussion started with one person arguing for year-round EDT in New Enland, followed by someone else suggesting that instead, New England should switch to AST. The fun part was the quick realization that a lot of people didn't understand the difference, and got into rather nasty fights calling each other all sorts of insulting names. Since then I've often thought that this is a really good way to mess up such discussions, and we should all be trying it whenever the topic comes up. ;-) -- ------------------------------------------------------ _' O <:#/> John Chambers + <[email protected]> /#\ <[email protected]> | | _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
