Keep up the good work. The whiners are in the minority. We can be thankful
that most of us don't live in Indiana where they never know what time it is

Ok, folks, don't get carried away.
To Steve, KB9GP: Use your imagination.
If you're on daylight savings time, then it's
EDST, if you're on standard time, tnen it's EST.
To Bill, KC4ATU who says the practice of listing
the net time in local time seems a bit stupid
to him, I say this constant whining about what
time it is seems a little bit stupid to me.
To Larry, W1GOR, who says that UTC is
the only time that should be used, I'll have to
find the emails I received when UTC was the
only time that I did use. I got complaints because
I DIDN'T list the local times.
I'm not sure why such a minor message is
stirring up all these phobias about time that people
seem to have
If anyone is tired of seeing the weekly reminders,
I'll stop sending them. It seems that for the past
couple of months, every time I send one out,
somebody complains about the way it's done.
If anyone thinks they can do better, I'll let you have
the job.
Otherwise, I'm tired of hearing about it.
Deal?
