You can detect (often) the local time in the browser and convert a UTC
(or EST or whatever) datetime to what is local to the visitor. The
reason I suspect that that might be happening is that the two times
that were being disputed (6:22 and 3:22) are exactly 3 hours apart.
Sam, who is on the East Coast, sees it as 6:22 which is 3 hours later
than Maureen, who is West Coast. That would be the expected behavior
if it was compensating for local time zone of the visitor.

But by all means, don't let me get in the way of anyones arguments.
