    Do you place the Time or Time and Date on your directory?

    Do you think that it can maybe panick people off of your directory, they see the time they think, "oh god, im supposed to be...." they quickly exit, possibly a sale forgotten forever.

    Is it neccessary? the time is on my desktop.

    I don't think displaying the time on your directory site is necessary. Maybe it will not drive people away, but I don't see any use for it.

    I think it is pointless to add the time. People know it by looking to the left bottom corner of their computer

    I agree formula, and as i think Freewebspace is pointing out, the time is not always showing correctly.

    don't think people would be interested in what time is showing on a directory when they submit

    i don't care what time it i as long as it is quality

    unless it fits into the theme, like dir journal, which shows the date :)

    otherwise its just wasted coding/processing/output :)
