From: Gary Britt 

I don't do shared calendars !!!   I see your point.  If inside a
single corporation different offices in far flung different time zones
trying to use a shared calendar would have a problem.  I'm sure there must
be some company somewhere trying to do this, but for the life of me I can't
imagine why different offices 2000 or more miles apart in different time
zones would want to use a shared calendar, that just strikes me as a system
guaranteed to generate all kinds of problems just in the trying.
