and messages dated in 01, or next month, just sit there. The message
dates are generated by your computer's clock, so give us all a braek and

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.!).

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.

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.

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 ***er 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 sub***s are learning something from
"Southpark". Too bad he can't learn to reset his Dad's computer clock,
or get an *** (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.
