Actually, I suspect it's that results have been turned in, and
that the account report was "grabbed", since the last top
producers report update. The server hasn't updated it since
07 Jun 2000 19:01 (Jun 7 2000 12:01PM Pacific)
I've experienced similar situations in the past when the server
doesn't update a report every hour as expected, and the report
remains unchanged for a day or two as a result...
BTW, the server not updating a report every hour has been
happening quite frequently lately... :(

P.S. The partial top producer lists don't update even if the full
length report does. But I believe it's because the screwy nature
of the full length report. If you want to see what I meen, take
a look at the full length top producers list. It begins like...
