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. ;')
