i have set in my dnews.conf:

post_force_date true
timezone_post +0100

is correct this figure for italian and american and other user?

I'm sorry I'm not sure what you are asking. It depends what time zone you 
are in, and or what time zone the
user is in.

Whi Andrew critic this formulation ?

the problem is for non italian user or for any user ?

I am perplexed ..

I think he's basically saying 'why mess with the date that the user puts on 
the message'
and I tend to agree, replacing it with your own date/time doesn't make much 
sense.
