Oh.

I guess I come from the other angle where I've been using web forums (and
BBS's before that) for the last 20-odd years.  Every one that I've ever used
allowed me, the user, to specify my timezone so that I would see forum
activity relevant to my time.  Even my usenet readers offered this.

However, if I'm really the first one to suggest this for bbPress... well,
I'll just shut up and offer another round of apologies to everyone for
cluttering up the mailing list and offending multiple people in the process.
