Unless there is a huge surge in posting over the next 15 minutes, I think Shano will have this one.

AFF has more than 60,000 posts as of now. Not sure when crossed the threshold - earlier today?

It was at least an hour after my previous post (which was when I got to board my somewhat delayed flight)

 

[Kiwi Flyer]

I think this post (or close to it) is the 60,000th post. Based on 60,043 posts as at your post above which has post #117629. So post #117586 would be it.

If correct that makes it 1:05am eastern daylight time on 06/03/07. Waiting for JohnK to confirm.

I think you will find it was just after midnight Australian Eastern Daylight Savings time (this morning).

Is there a 3 hour time difference? I thought it was only 2 hours time difference (except the odd weeks due to misalignment of daylight saving start/end dates).

3 hour difference from what?

 

[Kiwi Flyer]

From NZ. The linked post shows for me as 3:05am (a little over 12 hours ago).

'tis showing as 1:05am for this AEDST enhanced member ... :idea:

 

[serfty]

That reminds me, when does Kiwi DST end this year?

ah so it is the time difference to Queensland that is the issue - 30 years and an hour

From NZ key dates thread, 3am 18th March.

 

[simongr]

Daylight savings seems to be a real mess this year - the US change this coming weekend, NZ the following week and Oz the week after - dont they make this hard enough already???

 

[Kiwi Flyer]

NZ's date hasn't changed for a while, although some pollies calling to extend it (both ends)

US changed their dates this year.

Would be so much easier if all countries that have it agree to 6 month length and changeover on the same dates.

Kiwi Flyer, I think your calculation of the post number may be out by a small number (think of an integer between 2 and 4)
