[thesite] [BUG] The timestamp on comments ...

[aardvark]

as far as i know, the date is assigned by the server, not the 
client... given that, the client's time zone shouldn't matter at all...

also, if you check the comment at 
http://evolt.org/article/Useful_Page_not_found_error_pages/20/4299/
evolt.org, you'll notice the top comment is out of order, but has a 
later time-stamp than the other two...

my guess is that it's an error in the sort from the SQL query...
