That's my fault, I think. My computer is old enough that the clock chip battery is worn out. Usually the computer reverts to 2005-12-30 20:04 or thereabouts.[1] When that happens, there's no problem, because the difference in dates between my computer and my ISP is too great and it complains when I open my mail/news program. But other times, it just doesn't advance the time when the computer is off, so it's less than a day behind and there's no complaint. If I don't notice it, I'll post with the wrong time on my articles and make them look like they're older than they are. Your news software apparently sorts articles by date rather than by which articles are followups to which, so mine came up first. Now that I think about it, there's a file somewhere where I could put a date command to prompt me to set it when I log in, but I'm not sure which one. -- Dan Tilque [1] Why that time, I'm not sure. It could be it's when the chip was made or possibly when the software on the chip was compiled. |
