YUCK! Are you saying that if a user is entering a date that I have to
relate what time zone my server is in, vs. GMT, and ensure that it always
corresponds? This does sound nasty.
Just to be certain I understand... If I submit a date, and 'today' isn't
the same day as it is in 'GMT', then my submission will be adjusted
accordingly, UNLESS I send GMT along with it?
Why do I feel like I just confused myself? And why do I editorialize?
