I've personalized the portal to the EST time zone, but
the comments are 4 hours ahead.

    No matter how you set your timezone, it has no affect on the
    time stamp posted on comments.

    This is due to the fact that the Java java.util.Date class
    represents dates in GMT. So, possible solutions:

    1) Label all dates in the application as GMT
    2) Use the Calendar object for all dates (Calendar object
    takes Locale into account). However, we would then have to
    somehow feed the user's preference for locale into the
    Calendar object and then show him all dates in his locale.
    This is probably the most user-friendly approach.
