I really wasn’t being sarcastic before , I was just expressing my interpretation of your “evidence”. However perhaps you would now permit me a really sarcastic “Told you so”.
BTW it’s the hardware clock that is normally set to UTC; on a Desktop machine the system clock is generally set to local time. My mistake was the foolish assumption that someone who has been on this forum for at least eight years and with more than a hundred posts was not a beginner.
May I add the general remark that by far most of the people here that try to help, do so with the best intentions and in the best way they can. While it is always possible that something is misunderstood in a medium like this (Forums, where one is not face to face, nor has the same first language, turn around times may be large due to not everyone having sleep at the same time, assessment of otherone’s knowledge level maybe wrong, etc.), always start from the point that the intentions of the other are to help.
