Re: Our deadlines are dizzyingly complex and confusing

Yeah, I can deal with any TZ actually (AOE is one suggestion and I think 
most intuitive, UTC is another), but can't handle the varying cutoff 
times :).

On why AOE is intuitive, everyone gets to treat the deadline with their 
own TZ substituted for AOE (the actual deadline for most people would be 
a bit or a lot later in reality).
