If a major national newspaper like the New York Times can't get it right, the chances aren't good for smaller papers, especially those in a confusing place like Indiana.
I noticed recently that the NYT's automated email messages (about headlines, etc.) transit a machine that claims to be -0400 but has a clock in Eastern time (which is -0500 right now).
Pardon my confusion, but I thought that New York observed "DST", which means that Eastern time is EDT is -0400 right now.

This does indicate a lack of clue, however. -- Clive D.W. Feather | Work: <clive@demon.net> | Tel: +44 20 8495 6138 Internet Expert | Home: <clive@davros.org> | Fax: +44 870 051 9937 Demon Internet | WWW: http://www.davros.org | Mobile: +44 7973 377646 THUS plc | |
