   Hallo Wilfred!   
      
    MK>> UTC is correct for this node.   
      
    WvV> Is that node located in the 0 meridian timezone?   
      
   Nowhere near prime meridian but UTC is still the benchmark for syncing   
   networks.  All the system's times here are still UTC which makes things vastly   
   easier for sorting and other pruposes such as scheduling network events and   
   the such.   
      
    WvV> I'm guessing it's not, so that wouldn't be correct...   
      
   It is correct.  Saying otherwise would be wrong such as "TZUTC: 0000" instead   
   of "TZUTC: +0000".  FTS-4008 is wrong, wrong, wrong and is the source of   
   corruption for those east of prime meridian.  The RFC-3339 flag addresses this   
   particular major flaw in FTS-4008 and covers ALL the datetime issues including   
   the obsolete MSG datetime stamp.   
      
   So now that I've included TZUTC in all of the MSGs originating from here has   
   it made any difference there in any meaningful way?
