}far the local clock is from UTC/GMT -- the "GMT" bias.

To those who were thinking of replying to my "time" message either to the net
or to me personally, I figured out the solution just after getting really
frustrated and typing in that message.  I then sent a "cancel" message in
hopes of avoiding many replies (and "duhh, what an idiot" thoughts in your
minds), but it seems that my system ate (cancelled? :-) the cancel message.

I guess what I've learned here is that no matter how frustrated I may get
while trying to figure something out, if I enter a message into comp.unix.aux
then I'm bound to figure it out shortly thereafter.  I'll try to pull some
more hair out before asking next time! :-)
