For example, the article at <a href="http://bdnews24.com/bangladesh/2009/12/31/2010-new-decade-cheered-in">http://bdnews24.com/bangladesh/2009/12/31/2010-new-decade-cheered-in</a>, (dated 2010-01-01) states in part, “Clocks went back at 11:59pm on Thursday night--rather than midnight--to restore Bangladesh Standard Time (BdST), GMT+6…” I found many similar examples in a search for BdST within the site. Searches for BdDT and BdT yielded nothing. A search for BDT yields many references to their currency, not their time. I searched also for BST and found it referring to Bangladesh Standard Time in articles from about seven or eight years ago, while in articles from the current decade it seems to be referring only to British Summer Time.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Hank W.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Austin, Texas, U.S.A.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Time Guru Wannabe<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
