It is my understanding that all timestamps are stored in UTC, and then  
displayed via the offset set in the Admin. If you're using PHP 5.x  
you'll get a much more accurate choice of timezones, which should also  
handle automatic DST issues. On PHP4 its still all kinds of awful  
(i.e. you have to manually change the offset to make the time accurate).
