There was a rash of leap year glitches
concerning dates. This may be the answer.

That's a trick by spammers to bump their emails to the top of your inbox. They'll put old dates on them too, although I haven't figured out why.

Buddy, could be so that they'll go to the bottom of the list; whether it's the top or the bottom, it's probably going to be seen.

buddy & pat are correct, spider is wrong....as usual.

nothing new here.

Will the y2k paranoid EVER get a tech issue right?

I doubt it. But that won't stop the hardcore from spouting "doom doom DOOM" whenever they get the chance.
