I noticed that some of the times on the messages are an hour ahead of the actual time. You may want to check your profile to see if you have the proper time zone checked.
I am in the Eastern time zone and use GMT - 5 hours.

I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

GMT stands for Greenwich Mean Time. Essentially -5 means that it is 5 hours earlier than the time at zero longitude. Zero longitude runs through Greenwich, England just outside of London.
In the Spring when we push the clock forward an hour, Eastern time has to be reset to GMT - 4.
GMT is not pushed forward or back so it acts as a fixed reference point.
There are quite a few web sites that explain it better.

I think you explained it quite well. It's just one of those facts that you keep in your head until somebody like me asks.
