Default Questions in Newsgroup written in the future

How is it that there are questions in the newsgroup that are written in the
future. They keep showing up at the top of the list.
Thanks,
Barb Reinhardt

Default Questions in Newsgroup written in the future

I would guess that the OP's time/date/timezone is messed up.

But I don't see any that look like they're from the future (well, in my
newsreader).

Thinking someone was looking for a way to do it that way, and probably
somethign to do with having the date and time incorrect on the post itself.

Either that or they's immigrants from the future.

Sometimes an OP will do that intentionally, so that their post will display
at the top of the list for an extended time period.

FWIW, I tend not to want to answer posts from people gaming the system.
