 I see a number of articles rejected due to old dates.  Attached are excerpts
from the headers for yesterday's rejections.  They are all in the info.*
hierarchy of mailling lists gatewayed to news at UIUC.  The gatewaying
host, ux1.cso.uiuc.edu, runs the latest cnews, so presumably rejects messages
with unparseable dates (anne.jones handles this).  But from the way inews
enters the messages into relaynews, out of date messages are not rejected till
they get to the next site.

 Hey, you folks with PCs.  Either learn to set the time when you turn on
your machine, or buy a battery backed up clock, or configure your email
software to not include a 'Date:' header.
