I've noticed that some replies have come thorough before the original
message,

That makes three of us then.  I thought I was alone as nobody else has
mentioned it before.  Three possibilities exist, to my mind:

1.  Individual users with clocks out of whack on their machines.
2.  Individual ISPs with timezones set wrong on their mail servers.
3.  Mailing list out of whack.

Of the above I think 3 is the least likely, because I think we'd see it a
lot more frequently.  1 is next least likely, individual users (especially
Linux savvy ones) being rather more careful than that.  Number 2 IMHO is
most likely, given that I've just resigned from one after 7 years I've seen
all kinds of incompetence over that time.  Or maybe my view of them is a tad
jaundiced ;)

Perhaps someone ought to check the headers of relevant messages in future to
pinpoint where the time error occurs?

Kind regards,

Julian
