An excellent strategy! Now if only it were employed in the poster.

The Harm in educating people? Well, when the person attempting to educate, doesn't know everything, it can be rather pointless and annoying.
You on the other hand are sounding almost like Tesma was wrong to say what she is used to saying. Just because you have a different way of looking at something doesn't give you the right to subject people to the "Standards" you follow. Next time, don't semi-flame/snap on someone who doesn't follow your standards or logic.
*Sighs.* This will be my last post on the subject. I didn't mean for the thread to get derailed like this, but it seems people do like to make a meal of what I say on occasion. I should be flattered they pay so much attention to it.
What's that supposed to mean? Doesn't know everything? I know how timezones work, thank you very much.
It's not a different way of looking at things, it's not a standard I follow. What I have described are the official timezones, the rules followed internationally by any organisation that does business across timezones. Go and look them up if you don't believe me; there are certainly enough pages on the subject.
And I never snapped at Tesma. I have every right to snap at you, though.

Shame that people rarely take their own advice.
However, thanks to Procurator who pointed out the change in timezones, I have now been able to adjust my schedule so I can turn up on time!
I'll be there.
Count me in !!! I wouldn't miss it!
