   It means the date/time stamp of your messages may be incorrect since the   
   date/time information in the headers of FidoNet messages is assumed to be in   
   Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) unless there is a timezone control paragraph   
   (aka TZUTC kludge) present in the message body to indicate otherwise.   
      
   For example, your message was presented here (in California) as having been   
   posted at Wed Apr 30 2025 01:54 pm UTC. Does that sound correct?   
      
   If your (originating) system is not physically located in a timezone that   
   happens to match GMT/UTC/Zulu time, or your system clock is not explicitly   
   configured for UTC timezone (and set to the proper time offset) or your editor   
   isn't converting from local time to UTC/GMT equivalent, then that's probably   
   an incorrect timestamp.
