- This is as much a human interface issue as anything else, and I assert
- that it is wrong to force a system administrator (or anyone else) to
- think in other than his own time zone. The only exception to this rule
- that I can imagine is in networking, wherein it is easiest if all
- timestamps are in GMT (or some other absolute measure) so that
- calculation of the relative times of various network wide events is
- simpler.
