Hey, you got me. My end *seems* correct to me. I took a cursory look
at things and everything appears correct on my end, so it's probably
me:-) It's 1:04 right as I'm posting...

I just looked at a BUNCH of different headers from a bunch of different
groups and posters (some whom I know to be in your time zone), posting
to a variety of news servers (including eternal-september) and they all
show time stamps with a 5-hour delta from the NNTP-Posting-Date entry,
except for yours; yours is 6 hours.

Yet my time zone is set correctly, at 5 hours, not 6 hours...

In the "Time Zone" tab of your "Date and Time Properties" (assuming
you're running Windows, of course) do you have the "Automatically adjust
clock for daylight saving changes" checked? (I do) I'm a programmer by
trade, and I've done a lot of messing around with time values in code,
and it's my considered opinion that this feature of Windows is *broken*.
If you have that turned off you might try turning it on to see what the
effect is. If it's already turned on, then I'm lost again. :-)

I think you nailed it. I have mine turned off, because I don't want
windows adjusting my clock. I turned it off because it was fussing with
the time changes on the wrong dates. When they changed the dates, I
found a fix and installed the patch. Then one fine day I had to
reinstall windows and lost the fix. I never bothered to find the patch,
and re fix it, instead, I just turned off the auto time change crap. My
clocks are all correct though, and the time stamps on my messages I send
show correctly here, and the times showing on your messages are showing
correctly here. I guess because I don't have windows automagically
screwing with the times:-)
