   Wow. That statement makes no sense. Subtraction and addition work the   
   same way with 12 or 24 hour clocks. One may have to compensate for two   
   different calendar days, which 24 hour clocks don't help with.   
      
   If it's really that much trouble for you, clearly you should simplify the   
   time zone choice you use and keep your clocks on Greenwich time.
