I mostly download YouTube videos 
( via Video DownloadHelper/Converter, FireFox, $29 via Stripe )
but, occasionally, I download TV shows.
CopyRightTrolls can't blackmail me because I'm not making money off it,
and my IP address is not me.

I don't believe that !  You _must be confused.  What's the MessageID ?

It's also an editor.  Gimp is good but hard to learn.
I code Direct2D ( for PostScriptLike paths and bitmaps )
and DirectWrite ( fonts ); previously, I used DirectDraw and GDI+.

Direct2D is amazingly powerful and, because it's part of Direct3D,
I get a high "frame rate", even with heavy, 4K graphics -- very nice !

I know vs2017 and VisualCommander ( EnvDTE80 / C# ) inside and out,
backwards and forwards; so, in my mind, they're "tiny".

I used 40tude_Dialog when, 2004 ?
I've tested NewsReaders, of course.

They're sorted by date, and easy to search and edit
using vs2017, my PlainText editor.
vs2017 can edit a 3 GigaByte text file, as I did today.

I like what you're doing, but I can use GoogleGroups instead;
e.g. to find your "o9p7bt$qrj$3@dont-email.me" post, do:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!search/messageid:o9p7bt$24qrj$243@dont-email.me

All dates should be convertable to seconds since the start of 1970,
a 64 bit integer.  In C, it's like this:  

  i64 aDate ;  tm DayRec = {};
  DayRec.tm_mon = Month ;  // 0..11
  DayRec.tm_mday = DayOfTheMonth ; // 1..31
  DayRec.tm_year = Year - 1900, aDate = mktime( &DayRec );

You can add 200 days to DayRec.tm_mday, and call mktime( &DayRec ) to 
normalize .tm_mday to 1..31, adjusting .tm_mon and .tm_year accordingly.

  The form "+0000" SHOULD be used to indicate 
  a time zone at Universal Time.

Quoting
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822#appendix-A.6.2

  The following [has] an obsolete date format, 
  including a non-numeric time zone and a two digit year:

    Date: 21 Nov 97 09:55:06 GMT

My "(Seattle)" is just a comment, it's not used to calculate a date.
