Yup, I've done the very same thing.... Each member has a timezone id, and
I use that to store ALL dates as GMT, and then calculate the local time
when the records are retrieved.
I wouldn't set the clock to GMT, as it may cause you problems if you want
to mirror the site etc etc. Leaving it as local time is perfectly ok, as
long as you have all the correct timezone offsets etc.
A couple of tips.... remember to include DST too if necessary!!! and
store all offsets in seconds, it's far easier to work with!
