Re: localtime()->timezone ???

I'm not sure if you're applying humour here or not, so I'll assume you're 
serious.

That just confirms that it's backward for everyone... the docs say "offset 
from UTC", so shouldn't that be +7200? I would think that -7200 would 
represent the offset _to_ UTC, or am I missing something? At the very 
least, it's the opposite of how most people think of time zone offsets.
