   I won't show it, but there are 36 zones in +1:00 that have "summer"   
   times. and 13 in +2:00 that don't.

   Not really - it's just Aragorn posting from CET/CEST in Belgium. You   
   may have him scored down because he once cross-posted from   
   a.o.l.ubuntu, and a few trolls from that group spewed here back in   
   September 2011.
