Exactly, makes no sense.  It was tried as a test before and went over so badly it was cancelled before it officially ended.

I had similar issues except they were with people who lived and worked in the same area -- and in the same office -- that I did.  Not sure what time zone they were trying to live on but they were good at coming in a hour+ later than everyone else, and then setting up lots of meetings after everyone else's quitting time.  After showing up to empty conference rooms a few times, it didn't take them long to learn they couldn't do that.

Best as I can tell, those are the types of people who think year-round DST is a good idea, too.  :D
