Nope, it depends on the clock on the POSTING AGEMT.
For example, even though you said you're at GMT +0900, your post
shows GMT -0400.
On the other hand, Strike's posts show GMT +1000 (are you sure
you are both in Sidney and 1 hr apart? Didn't think Sidney is
THAT big, or your local posting agents that far apart. :-))
By the same token, when the Krazy Kiwi posts, it depends on the
POSTING AGENT she uses at the time. It sometimes shows -0400,
sometimes +0800, ... , she's everywhere. :-)
Sherry's posts show GMT +1200.
Thus, before TODAY (here GMT -0400) is over, I'll be seeing Strike's
posts dated TOMORROW May 30. :-)

Chattanooga is GMT -0400

You are really GMT +1000, I sink. :-)
In the voice of Brian Gelfand the Arrogant playing in his sandbox:
"Who cares"?
Judging from this thread alone, not to mention the original thread
in which his Clueless Newbieness showed, I guess at least a few of
the regulars do care, if not only for the sake of INTELLECTUAL
curiosity.
