I found this list while looking at threads on Flickr. I thought it was kinda cool and thought I'd share. Anyone know of a similar list that might have more stuff/options?
suggested exposure times at f/16, at 100 ISO: cityscape just after sunset 4 secs

floodlit statues and fountains 8 secs

Xmas lights outdoors 20 secs
ordinary night street scene 20 secs
floodlit exteriors 4 secs
floodlit castles and churches at dusk 15 secs
floodlit castles and churches at night 30 secs
landscapes by moonlight 30 mins

Lists like that were much more helpful (and necessary) in the days of film. Now you can shoot, adjust, shoot, adjust, etc., to your heart's content.
While you're statement is true, it's nice to have a good starting point and adjust from there. Some of us less experienced people still find lists of starting points handy, heh.
