See, here's what the problem is. You've invented your own definition
of "timezone", which has no relation to how anyone else uses the word,
and are now arguing loudly and rudely about how your pet definition is
right, and everyone else is wrong.

You should have just said at the beginning that you were just
redefining all the terms to match your preference, so I could have
killfilled you then instead of reading all your posts in hope that you
actually had something important and useful to say.
