Message Order

[Zscoundrel]

I think part of the problem is time settings.  My inbox IS sorted by 
date and time, but many times I find that a lot of of the replies are 
time stamped with a time PRIOR to the time stamp on the original.  (In 
some cases, the time stamps are days apart!)

One of the problems with Linux systems being so reliable is the PC clock 
can wander off.  I have mine set to sync up with one of the internet 
time servers so it is usually with a second or two of wha thte atomic 
clocks are set at.

The Supreme Court has ruled that they cannot have a nativity scene in Washington, D.C. This wasn't 
for any religious reasons. They couldn't find three wise men and a virgin.
