Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: North America Pub Chat

Actually, that time zone chart is not quite accurate.  The differences 
are correct for daylight time, but not for standard time.

PST (GMT/UCT - 8)
MST (GMT/UCT - 7)
CST (GMT/UCT - 6)
EST (GMT/UCT - 5)

PDT (GMT/UCT - 7)
MDT (GMT/UCT - 6)
CDT (GMT/UCT - 5)
EDT (GMT/UCT - 4)

And, of course, our daylight (summer) time has to be different from the 
rest of the world.  We start earlier and end later than the European 
countries, so the difference from another given time zone isn't constant.
