That sheds a little light on the subject. I was wondering what was
going on. I was trying to figure out if it was just bad dates in the
emails I was getting, but when I read the posts and threads they made
sense in the time context of their respective date stamps.
Luckily I didn't get thousands like Jennifer stated. Just a dozen or so.
Hope it's fixed now.
