Time zone database shut down (The Daily Parker)Time zone database shut down (The Daily Parker)Posted Oct 9, 2011 16:51 UTC (Sun) by corbet (editor, #1)In reply to: Time zone database shut down (The Daily Parker) by cmccabe Parent article: Time zone database shut down (The Daily Parker) In my discussions with lawyers on these topics, they have often expressed concerns about the "chatter" that comes with public disclosure of legal issues. They, at least, think it's something to be worried about.

Yeah, but I would point out that if lawyers had their way, no one would ever say (or type) anything. There may be valid concerns, but it's hard (for me at least) to separate the actual, plausible concerns from the lawyerly push to have everyone clam up on every topic, forever -- because it's far safer. Possibly true, but uninteresting in the extreme.
YMMV, IANAL, blah, blah :)

The Terrible Truth About Layers, Mark MacCormick tells us in his late-90's business book, is that *their job is to keep you from ever getting your business in any trouble at all of any sort*.
Your job, as a businessperson, is to make rational business evaluations of their advice... and know when to ignore it.

Well, yes, but how much of that is simple protectionism, though? A lot of closed trade associations are very concerned about people not in their association treading on their turf, but that doesn't make that concern praiseworthy.
