Re: Daylight savings time timezone conversion automatically?

CAUTION: Adding half a year would be prone to error near the "time  
change" dates.  2:01 am 6 months from now might not even exist if that  
date is "spring forward" day.

It's unlikely that you'd ever need to, but If you ever had to, make  
sure you use a mid summer date like July 1, or mid winter date like  
Jan 1.  A person could do both as a sanity check.  If your input time  
didn't match either you'd know there was a problem.

Logic is elusive, especially with time.
