**Moderator Warning**

**D’Anconia** , I’ve instructed you before not to ask pointless questions. That some people have difficulty setting their clocks right for daylight saving or calculating time zones is common knowledge. I find it difficult to imagine that you have never encountered this.

Ironically, despite your concern for other people providing cites, here you propose a practice for which you provide no cite or evidence yourself.

And I’ve instructed you before not to take snarky jabs at other posters.

Here is the text of instructions to you I posted a few months ago. In view of this, I am issuing you a warning for violating instructions and being a jerk.

> **D’Anconia** , this is an official warning for being a jerk. This is the second time you’ve popped into the thread just to take a little snarky jab at another poster without making any substantive factual contribution. And this has been habitual behavior on your part for a long time. I’m giving you official instructions to stop this behavior. If you want to contribute factual information to GQ you may do so, but just posting snarky comments or irrelevant questions may result in a warning.
