It doesn't matter that the US Congress disagrees with others on the calendar dates to start confusing the livestock. A change in local time is matched by an opposite change in the UTC offset.
Besides, as I noted previously, there are lots of list participants who live on the "positive" side of the Prime Meridian---Andy and Viesturs are frequent contributors for example---and Gene's mailfilter doesn't seem to be bothered by their messge timestamps. I hope Gene's mailfilter doesn't depend on everybody's computer being time-synchronized. It's not going to happen.
