That groups of apparently faint GRBs are detected as having longer durations than groups of apparently bright GRBs is well known, and is sometimes referred to as ``time dilation.'' Reasons for GRB time-dilation remain ambiguous, and likely convolve intrinsic effects, cosmological effects, and even detector threshold effects. With redshifts of a significant number of GRBs now in hand, attempts at an accurate deconvolution are now possible, and carry interesting cosmological implications. Toward this goal, we use redshift estimates of a large subset of BATSE GRBs obtained by Band et al. (2004) from the lag-luminosity relation of Norris et al. (2000). Inspection of different sets of GRBs separated in estimated redshift appear to qualitatively show the expected time-dilation effect, indicating that cosmological information was and is convolved in GRB BATSE data.
