My friend is ahead of time because he's on mountain time and Arizona doesn't

recognize daylight savings time. Arizona is weird. His msgs always end up on

top of lists waiting for 'time to catch up'. Most time stamps are put on by

people's servers, not the people themselves and lots of ISPs are just

strange. I set my home computer 1/2 hour ahead trying to fool myself into

showing up places on time, but I'm usually down in time stamp ordered lists.

My ISP or something.
