Hey Wilfred!

 WvV> The time in the raw pkt was indeed 17:11:36. So it must be a
 WvV> local problem on my system. I'll investigate!

I thought that was the case.  You're not the only system where that happens and
usually the packed msg has the correct datetime stamp.

 WvV> What is the header time of this message when it arrives on yours?
 WvV> It should be 22:16:36 ...

In my displayed, stored and raw pkt from my uplink it shows "02 Oct 15 
22:16:36".  I never alter anybody's data as that is a HUGE no-no where I was
trained.  Raw data is sacred here as it *should* be.

 WvV> Your datetime stamp is only suitable for the human readers of
 WvV> your messages.

What is your point?  That is exactly who I am attempting to communicate with. 
Also it acts as a test for utf-8 characters and translations to human languages
as opposed to machine languages.

 WvV> Processing software can do nothing with it.

That would require corrupting it.  No?  :::evil grin:::

 WvV> Is your middle name maybe Don Quichotte? ;)

Actually it is John.  From my limited understanding it means "YAHWEH is
gracious" in Hebrew.

Life is good,
Maurice
