Chuck - I wasn't going to mention this, but since you raise the subject,
your own articles frequently appear very, very much in the past. That
may just be because my server picks them up several hours later than it
picks up most people's, or it may be a problem with your settings.
Chuck is behind the times? Seriously though, how is Usenet time supposed
to be displayed? This system I'm on now is Windows XP with its time set
to US Eastern time (GMT -5:00) or somesuch. It is about 18:00 EST as I
post this (I'll try to post the exact indicated time as I press the Send
key).
Question: In a given thread I find several posts from all over the
world, each with an indicated date and time. Whose time is it? Should my
newsreader know that local time for Heathfield is GMT+1 (is it?) and
report his post to me in EST (GMT-5)?
Current date_time is 2007-03-06 18:15
