[Mb-hair] Time Zones

Having drunk deeply from a particularly pleasing Chardonnay this
evening I was a little confused by the fact that on the MB-Hair
website (where I sometimes read mails as I am in Digest mode and
otherwise have to wait) my postings, set to appear in so-called
chronological order, were appearing before those I was replying too.
Too much wine, I thought, especially when Dagmar's last post replying
to mine also appeared before Michael's which I had originally replied
to. (Some of you may by now still be with me, or struggling, but hang
on in )
Then through the haze of white wine came the realisation - time
zones. Having set the web page to list postings by date, the software
does just that, taking its information from the message headings as
posted.
So, slightly disappointed, I deduce that Dagmar, like me, is this
side of the Great Divide. And that we can use this rough instruemnt
to see just where list members are at any given moment.
As I return to my Chardonnay, i thought I would share this with you.
For what it is worth.
