   Similarly, when downloading, the datetime stamps can be affected by the   
   bbs for me... I'm always using the same telnet client to both up and   
   download... so that isn't affecting the datestamp for me...  I don't   
   worry too much about the timestamp either, as long as it doesn't cause   
   other problems...  The upload timestamp change can cause messages to go   
   missing if other bbses see them as dupes for some reason, though....

   ... If things improve with age then I'm approaching magnificence.
