WHOA!  WHOA!  WHOA!

The posts in question are from an aol user.

The newsgroup in question is one where the time can 
be ten minutes off and lend itself to fraud. NOT
SUGGESTING FRAUD IS THE CASE HERE.  But it would
be good to know for sure that without sophisticated
forgery, the date time can not be messed with. This
could depend on your system.

On my own DOS system I have recently posted articles
with the DOS date time having been set to Oct 30, 1997
and whatever the time was. These figures were inserted
into the newsgroup article by my reader/mailer.

[And since the first try to post this, have set the 
date backwards, too, although DOS wouldn't take
01/01/01.]

If you already know the answer to whether similar fraud-
ulent - or just plain 'off' - dates and times can be 
'automatically' inserted into the aol message reference 
number - on your (kind of) system, would you please post 
to rec.gambling.sports and say so?

Most effective would be to set the time back a number of
hours and say in the post what you set it to, and what
time you are posting the article.

This would be great also if you don't know whether it
can be done, but use it as a test.

A subject of AOL date-time test would be good.

rehash: please set the time back a few hours and post
something to rec.gambling.sports saying what time the
clock was set to, and what time you are posting the
article in 'real'  EST/CST/MST/PST time. 


please and thanks and bye-bye!
