Don't be. It is annoying as all hell to have to find out where I am in an international network of machines for an international project all the time, because people never remember to write UTC -foo. And if you have to ask why it is annoying, well, the answer has something to do with "local mindset", and the problems it creates for a worldwide project. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
