Re: DDOS craziness going on today

No offense intended.  I hope I didn't insult you.
I was just trying to make a joke.

Personally, I favor daylight savings time.

I like to be able to leave work at 5:00 pm on a June afternoon
and go straight to the lake (which is 5 minutes from my house)
and spend several hours riding my SkySki.

At our latitude here in Austin, on June 21 this year sunset occurs
at 8:36 PM CDT, and I can legally ride my water toys until
30 minutes past sunset.

In Indiana on June 21 your day is approximately 1/2 hour
longer than mine anyway, and your sunset occurs at around
8:15 PM EST, so I can see why you prefer not to use
daylight savings time.
