Spring Forward

Spring forward.
Seize the daylight hour.
We have but too few summers.
All mortals must fall back
in our autumn years.

I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life constantly checking everywhere to make sure that the picture was being used in accordance with the arbitrary, bureaucratic regulations that the GFDL imposes. I'd rather just forget about it and get on with better things to do. It does seem just a little bit pointless: just a couple of seconds to take the picture, and a lifetime of checking afterwards. Still, maybe the sort of people who are dull enough to write computer manuals are also dull enough to enjoy checking what's happening to their pictures all the time...?
