Incidentally -- this is off-topic, new question, so a new thread --
Why are your* timestamps set in the future? My replies to your emails are
actually dated an hour or so *before* your original emails. The time of your
email is actually set in the future, at least an hour after my system clock,
which is set to local time, PDT US.
Are you a visitor from the future, here to warn us against where our bad
mailing list behavior will lead us (that is, to certain disaster)? Or is
there some more reasonable explanation?
Please see attached screenshot for proof.
Bill
P.S. * The use of 'you' and 'your' refer to Dan Youngquist, or at least
his
future self.

I wasn't going to mention that, as doing so would be a violation of the
Prime Directive, but since you ratted me out... :)
The machine I wrote those emails on developed a time issue for which the
quick-and-dirty solution was to set the timezone back one hour. It works
out OK locally, but apparently not so much elsewhere. I haven't worried
about figuring it out because that machine is way past due for a reinstall
anyway.

Just so long as you are aware of it. You wouldn't want other ordinary people

Whenever I see timestamps that get too far out-of-whack, I worry about deeper
issues, either on your end or mine.
