If nothing he wants to do, and, if he's creating capture files and giving them 
to other people, nothing those other people want to do, require time stamps - 
i.e., if nobody wants to know, for example, how long it takes between requests 
and responses for a particular protocol, or wants to investigate any network 
delays - he could get away with not having time-stamped packets (the time 
stamps will all be zero, probably).-
This is the tcpdump-workers list.
