Ill step in now on this time / date deal.

Having done some pretty silly things in attempt to change the tiem
and date on a mail message. The easiest way I have come up with to
change the DATE and TIME (not the posting name, thats easier) is to log in
as system (was a VMS machine) on the machine recieving the mail, change
the date / time, mail the message, and change the date/time BACK to what
it should be. Changing the time / date on my own machine only caused
it to go out with a strange date then get stamped properly on the (offending)
recieving machine.

I've tried some other stranger tactics for changing it but I wont go
into those here. None of them worked.

Here in 2055 where people know a lot more about machines and
networks and how they interact (and with the addition of the
matrix) some people might have learned how to do this...but there are
bigger people making sure that stuff that this doesnt happen again
(after the crash of 29). :wq
