I actually think there are benefits to each end of this.  If you left it one 
way or the other, there'd be problems for some one in either Winter or 
Summer so it's not a bad idea to balance it out.  I suspect the problem most 
people have is making the adjustment.  A week or 2 after either change, you 
don't hear a thing about it until it's time to change again.  Just my 2 
cents worth.  No flames, please.  lou WA3MIX
