At any rate, this is going off topic, since the subject of this thread was not to debate to worthiness (or worthLESSness of DST), just to tell you how to fix it so your board time would be correct.

Agreed!

Also, thank you for starting this thread. I probably would've been mildly irritated when I noticed the times were off... 2 or 3 months from now.

Thanks you you, I fixed it!

It wasn't a study, it was a result.

Businesses and homeowners typically lowered their thermostats at night to lower heating costs. Remember, this was during the first "energy crisis".

Having to begin raising the temperature an hour earlier, with the sun's warming rays also delayed by an hour, cost money. There's more to it than that, but it's the most obvious example. I don't claim to understand any of it. It is what it is.

Back in the 70's they tried leaving DST active one winter. It cost the country millions, if not billions, of dollars in extra energy consumption.
