Fix your computer clock, John. Ask your toaster to explain how.


My clock's right! I'll check the time on this message.


In my list, it says 11:56 AM. I thought you were in the Eastern time
zone.


On my list it showed as 10:56, but, strangely, your reply showed on my
list
as 9:59.

Weird!


Well, we *know* you're living in a time warp to begin with...

Check your clock.


John, I don't have time for this silliness. In English, no abbreviations,
what time zone do you want your clock (and messages) to display? Greenwich
Mean Time, or some other zone?


My clock displays Eastern Standard Time as adjusted for daylight savings.

You're arguing with an idiot. Let it go.

Harry, fix the clock on your computer.

OK. It is 11:25 AM, give or take a couple of minutes. Your message says it
was posted 12:30 PM. We're all done here.


*Your* computer says that, not mine!

*Your* computer says that, not mine!

All the other messages are appearing in logical order. Your ISP's news
server must be ill.


That wouldn't surprise me. But, on my computer the messages I send show the
time they were sent, accurately.

This may be a different problem - like maybe the ISP.

Mine are all coming through synched to my clock.

Did you set your GMT/EDT time right in Agent? You are using an early
version - that might be the problem.

My old Agent uses the time from the computer clock. There's no setting of
the time in Agent itself, at least not in mine.

11:45 AM Eastern time, adjusted for DST and wind direction.


Weird. On my list the time showed up as 10:45 for that last message of
yours. Harry's earlier message showed up with an hour difference also. It
must be an ISP thing, 'cause the problem isn't consistent.

lie, and I'm always right.


Was there ever any doubt? Remember, a statement based on incorrect 'facts'
is not a lie.

Got me to thinking about how come such utterly ridiculous crap
never happened to me. The only real answer I can up with is: dumb
luck.

I've had a lot of hook accidents including picking a monster with more
treble hooks on it that you could imagine out of the back of my head
with a mirror. (That client never went with me again, I'll tell you
what.)

Sounds like you might have made good use of the little hook safety
lecture on that trip. Being a pro with clients you know nothing
about, it might pay off.

I've got to believe that the double thumb hook up is a tall tale - as
in urban legend or something.

No, it was a sheepish admission by somebody on the CS forum while
discussing something else - grounding I think.
Truth/stranger than/fiction. And maybe it was a Lazy Ike.
I can study one carefully before gingerly picking it up, and it still
manages to prick me half the time.

I second Doug's scalpel trick, but mostly when I seriously hook
myself, as I do at least two/three times a year, I just cut one end or
the other off and pull it through. That's where a handy little can of
numbing spray can help a lot. :)

Numbing spray. I'll add a small can to the kit.
Cutting the hook out with a scalpel is sort of a no-brainer after a
little practice. Hell, if I wanted to be a surgeon I'd just go to
medical school. I'll see if I can find the Minnesota back out with
fishing line trick. Think it was in Fishing Facts years ago.
You've provided the only useful info yet and seem to be a generous
soul. Mind if I trouble you a bit more?

Not at all.

What time is it?
