I know. Problem is your average person takes pictures as a way of remembering the past, not for artistic effect. As such, people like to have a reminder of when the picture was taken. I know it takes away form the picture, but for me, what was intended to be a cool memory of a week at the beach turned out to be a much cooler pic than I'd anticipated. If I had a licensed version of the new Photoshop, I'd be removing date stamps from these kinds of pictures.
