Because the word "you" and "your" when posted on a public mailing list effectively imply "everyone on the list", I can easy prove that your statement is false: *my* watch is set to whatever time *I* choose, which is *not* necessarily the same as "civil time". I live in an area where everyone around me observes DST, but I refuse to do DST, hence my personal time (displayed by all of my personal timepieces) differs from that of everyone around me by an hour for more than half of every year. > your computer and your PCR display civil time; Wrong again: my computer systems run on GMT and are configured to display only GMT (see the headers of this message for example), even though I'm an ocean and a continent away from Greenwich.
