    Could the fact that I am in a different Time zone than you be a factor?

    Note, I wrote the message you are quoting at 6:57 PM my time, but that
    would be 5:57 PM your time.


    Now, if I WAS posting replies before they were sent, that would be a
    majr development.

    You are posting replies that are coming up before my
    much later posts. I think that your system clock may
    be off. USENET goes by universal time thus is not
    effected by timezones.


    No, if your system is sorting messages wrong, then your system is just off.

    As I posted, the time stamps of those messages were all in the right order.

    Note, "Usenet" doesn't care about the Timestamp of the message, but your
    client might.

    Again, you don't understand how things work.

    In the message format, Time stamps are SUPPOSED to have a time zone
    connected to them, saying what time zone the stated time is from.

    It is not "just universal time".

    You may want to read the RFCs before you just prove even more how stupid
    you are.

    That actual time/date stamp of your messages is making
    them come before several messages that I posted before
    you posted these messages.

    Don't just assume that I must be wrong look at your watch
    and check that with your system clock.

    I Have, Note, I POSTED the actual time stamps of a series that showed
    that they were in order, and that the time stamps were NOT just in
    "Universal Time" but Local Time.

    It seems that YOU are the one with a problem, but blame me.

    It always used to be that messages that you posted after messages
    that I posted came at the bottom of the messages that I posted.


    My guess is that you did something to break your system.

    What are a couple of actual time stamps that how this error?

    No one else can tell why YOUR COMPUTER is getting things wrong,

    I checked the headers of the above message.
    Richard Damon's clock seemts to differ 1 second from the servers's
    clock (or was read earlier).
