Funny... I don't even see these guys on PINE or Outlook. So you're one step
ahead of me, in that you get their posts. Strange.

You sure it's not your newsreader? I don't see a single message with a
non-2000 date in the last 1000 postings. I'm using Outlook, but I checked
with Pine and also found no strange dates.

Oh! It was not my computer, it is the recommended newsreader program
in our Department of Computer Science(sic.!).

"Scotty" has his date set one month ahead.. March posts for him are set
for April. "FluffyPoney" has a 2001 date. These are the two that got me.
There are also some that either have their time set wrong (in hours and
minutes) or their ISP takes a while to post them. They also get to me as my
OE always starts with the oldest message.. about 30 messages prier to the
first of the newest. It's just a bit annoying and doesn't bother me that
much but, would be nice if they would set their clocks right.
There are Applications out and about that can log on to some places that
keep an accurate time. Then the applications can set your computers clocks
to them. But again, it's not important but would be nice to be able to have
the messages set to at least close to the right time.

Really? Well, Outlook I could understand, since it's never worked and it
never will, but Pine should have picked these up.... oh, and no, it's
not my newsreader -- I use a real one.
These three are from the wonderful gentleman behind the spamblocker and
WarezDood (isn't it interesting that most people who use spam blockers
are of this personality type?) who regaled us with this reply to someone
calling him on using a pirated version of a product:
"If I was a mature person [and he goes on to prove conclusively he's not
even close -- BB] it wouldn't bother me that this wanker called me an
arsshole and told me to go ---- myself, but I'm not. So ---- my ---- you
donkey raping ---eater (learned that from southpark!)."
It's truly comforting that subteens are learning something from
"Southpark". Too bad he can't learn to reset his Dad's computer clock,
or get an adult (assuming any are living with him) to do it for him:

With this "one month ahead" setting, his messages don't clean up (and do
they ever need to!) for 30 days. Of course, as a WarezDood, we probably
won't hear from him again until his airplane glue runs out.
Now THSI gentleman, on the other hand, may have a problem with his News Service.
