Where the heck is Rosha posting from? From the messages, I thought he
was in Seattle, but he is using Europe's date stamp. (Seatle date
stamp would be "12-13-57")

With all of the debate over where/when/how you're supposed to timestamp
... I just went ahead and did all the changes I ever saw on the list.

To be real, I was just tired of the debate ... I was vaguely aware of the
difference between the European date config and the American date config,
but didn't think it would matter a whole lot.

For the record, Rosha posts 90% of her stuff from Seattle, thus PST. If you
would rather I didthe American date config from now on ... fine ... if you
don't care either way, that's fine too. :)

Exhausted (and not even 1/4 done)

I think just be consistent with where the character is posting from.
If in Europe, use the datestamp of Europe. If in America, use the
datestamp of America. Seems to be pretty consistent with the old
Shadowrun stuff (and here) from what I've seen.

I think 12-DEC-57 should be universal...

I mean, there AREN'T 13 months in a year, and that's the ONLY way someone
can tell what date it was actually posted.....

We use 13-12-57, which is the CORRECT usage. (But we also use -DEC- to avoid
confusion)
