What do you consider a sub-5 (or 4 or 6 or...) hour century?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but it is such a "41" question.

I was reading a post the other day where the OP was discussing wanting to repeat a sub 5 hour century, then mentioned that his total time was 6 or 6.5 hours or something. Now I have always used the metric that the ride time was counted from when I got on the bike to when I finished, including all stop lights, rest stops, water fill-ups and what have you. All these are just part of the ride and if I want to do a sub-whatever ride I just don't stop unless I have to.

So what do people say here, do you use total ride time or just moving time when quantitating your performance on a ride.
