Just to get a handle on how various computers around the world respond to “time” just post your clock’s readout. Then viewers of this thread can compare wht you’ve posted to the time stamp the Dope has out witjh your post. I’m on CDT US and mine is showing 5:59 AM as I hit Submit New Thread. ---

I was going to edit all the trash in that post, but the edit changes the time stamp, so here’s my apology for such a mess in an OP. 6:00 AM ---

> [@as\_u\_wish](#): > > 6:24 am Since your post is the only one edited at this moment (as I compose this post) and since I could swear you asked (before the edit) why I wanted to know your time, I just thought this might be a clever way of providing a real answer to [what is the busiest time on this board?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=575954) asked Yesterday, 01:40 PM by **Ladymarmalade** Other than that, just a genuine curiosity of how our clocks square up with the SDMB time stamp. ---
