OK and what I am trying to explain to you is that what you say it should be
is what it was doing. Posting messages into Usenet from New Zealand showing
New Zealand time and the correct +1200 timezone. That's the position we
started from when this thread kicked off.

Now other BBS around the globe use this gateway. They post from all sorts of
timezones but when their message lands here in New Zealand (often within 1-2
minutes of when they post it because most BBS traffic is carried over TCP/IP
these days using BinkP and not POTS dial-up as in the 1990s) the gateway
posts their message and uses a Date: entry that is the local time in New
Zealand and the timezone (+1200)

I am going to restore the +1200 timezone info now to this and subsequent post
as it's clear to me it should be there and should not have been removed.

Best, Paul
