Why?? You could always find out the "real" posting time if you needed
it!

Because such an invalid time stamp is proof that the message is spam. Real people don't keep their computer date and time so far off from reality.

Well, just at the moment, Paul, you might pick me, as I'm swapping between Linux and Win7. My clock varies by eleven hours (o.k., not the 24hrs+ Mr/Mrs/Ms Williams refers to, but...) dependant on which OS I'm using at the time and if I've remembered to adjust the clock or not!!


Because Windows defaults to using *localtime* for the system's realtime clock and Linux uses UTC. Getting Windows to use UTC is a bit of a pain, so it is much easier to adjust Linux.

edit file:
sudo nano /etc/default/rcS

change line from:
UTC=yes

To:
UTC=no

Reboot and now your clock will be the same in Windows and Linux.
