I tolerate, but do not even slightly like, the fact that the dates that come
in are dependent on the senders time/date stamp. Putting a realistic time
stamp on a message is certainly not forging anything. Currently, messages
come in all over the place (with regard to time/date order). Is this good? I
think not!
