I would have expected that Fire was displaying the local system time, 
rather than any information coming from the remote user or the 
server, so it should be a relatively simple programming task (says 
the non-programmer) to let the user specify a preferred format for 
the display of the timestamp that may optionally include the date.

Ironically, I've just this week been discovering that iChat AV 
displays the time of incoming messages using a time that is clearly 
NOT the same time my computer's set to. I've been able to tell a 
friend "Your computer clock is five minutes slow," only to get an 
incredulous "How did you know?!" response.
