  46 You missed the point.  Services shows the time zone wherever it uses a
  47 readable time -- i.e. in the nickserv/chanserv info displays.  Unless
  48 you've changed your language file, in which case you can simply change
  49 it back.

  51 &gt;<i>   Why does it all have to be so complicated??
  52 </I>
  53 It isn't.  Your users can even use the handy-dandy /nickserv set
  54 timezone command to make it even easier.
