   The time zone offsets are applied to calculate the age of posted messages to   
   account for messages received via message networks: the when_written_time   
   value is a time_t, in UTC, but represents the parsed date/time from the   
   originating message header (which is the local time for the time zone of the   
   poster): it's not necessarily the current UTC time at the time of posting when   
   posted from a different time zone.   
      
   So yes, the adjustments to calculate the message age look unnecessary when   
   considering only locally posted messages but make sense when considering   
   network-posted messages.
