I can understand that, however, maybe it helps you to realise that these "timezone names" are really just internal identifiers for database use, and interfaces that ask you to choose a timezone shouldn't directly present them to the user. So the best way to improve the situation would probably to improvew timezone selection interfaces so they no longer force users to choose somewhat crytic and misleading timezone IDs, but use a better interface, such as selecting a geographical location. For example, tzselect uses Europe followed by Ukraine followed by another choce, none of which list Kyev. So, each time you get irritated, you could put that energy into trying to improve that specific interface maybe. -- The choice of a Deliantra, the free code+content MORPG -----==- _GNU_ http://www.deliantra.net ----==-- _ generation ---==---(_)__ __ ____ __ Marc Lehmann --==---/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / schmorp@schmorp.de -=====/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
