Subject: Re: DateTime.new vs. DateTime.now

My findings are in agreement with yours.

If I call puts or strftime on DateTime.now, I will get local time.
If I call time component methods (hour, min, sec, etc.), I will get 
local time.

But if I just take a DateTime.now and do math with it, it is in GMT.

I would assert that the strftime, puts, and all of the time component 
methods do an implicit GMT-to-local time conversion as part of their 
processing.  That is the only thing that would explain the behavior that 
I am seeing.

Thanks,
Wes
