Default message.log timestamp

The time stamp in the chat logs doesn't seem to use a 24 Hour clock.. yet there is no AM or PM either. I've written about this in the support forums some as well.

A chat log message that is recorded here at 3:00 PM EST gets recorded in the message.log file as 7:00:00 GMT. It should be 20:00:00 GMT... or 7:00:00 PM GMT I guess... anyhow, there is no way for me to distinguish really between AM and PM in the logs..

Also, I believe (I'm really not sure about this one) that your GMT time is slightly off. EST time is suppose to be GMT-5, but with the timestamp flash chat is putting in, it seems like EST is GMT-4... So its confusing..

The timestamp in the logs is really important to me. I parse all of the chat logs (timestamp, username, msg, etc.) and enter everything into its own table in the database so I can print it back out in nice format later.
