I'll add a plea here:  Please use either UTC times or give your
timezone in offset from UCT (GMT).  Working out offsets from the
'offical' abbrevations is a right pain in the proverbial.  In some
cases I have trouble figuring out which country they are in.

Most Americans probably know where they are relative to the US
timezone, the rest of us don't, it gets even messier if you are in the
southern hemisphere and the daylight saving at opposite times of the
year.

Cheers Russell (who is currently UTC +1300, at the bleading edge ;-)
