You do not know that to be a fact, and if some of the more active people on this list have their way, persons in positions to make such decisions will be using this as a resource base.

Please take your opinions about national time zone policies someplace where they will make a difference.

I don't see anything wrong with including commentary on various actual and proposed changes. It is within the scope of this list, or at least not totally irrelevant to time zoning. That I voted for candidate X because I liked his stand on non-time-zone issue Y is irrelevant to this list; opinions on time zoning issues are not, have come from more people than just myself, (you may note that I was replying to another proposal in my post) and are, AFAIK, welcome from the people who run this list.
