... Perhaps in some forums where project or version issues were at stake. In a mundane LUG list usually trivial header info is not even looked at . Now to be fair making someone aware of a potential issue can be good. Then again it can get WAY too involved by all parties concerned. So to apply a mercy killing to this thread- "No more ClockNazis."

1) It is not about trivial header info, but about the way mail is sorted in mail clients. 2) Some of us sort messages by date, whether we choose to or not. Such as yahoo, which has two formats sort by ascending or descending date. 3) Enough future dates in a list archive will push new posts off of the page which might be a burden for other listers to deal with. ;') 4) You can't kill a thread until it is dead and the dead horse is beaten repeatedly. Nazis or no Nazis. 5) Flamewars are necessary to burn off the chaff and make fresh ground for new growth. ;')
