Re: 2017-03-06- UTC, TImeZone, DayLight Saving Shifts, Enconding

Hi,

Never never advise anyone to store any datetime in local time, that's a false simplification that always result in long-term problems, with people confusing current local time with past local time with remote local time, pilling up badly thought workarounds, and making mistakes.

Any sane app stores in UTC ot UT with local time conversion done in the UI (with the UI making sure which local time is used is clear to the user).
