1. Agree this looks funny. What I found interesting is that (based on Ralph's link) the developers originally added the time zone in the Actual Time column, intentionally showing local time zone of the viewer. Ironically the intention was to avoid confusion. I'm sure there's a lesson in there somewhere. :-)
2. All right then, remove the roles. Is there a more acceptable way to get attribution for the Async Loggers somewhere on the site? 3. I experimented with it but switching on the pic also adds another column with the pic URL. (Not very useful IMHO. Shall we file another bug/feature request with the maven team? "Show pic, without adding pic URL column".) 4. Sounds good.
