That much is obvious.

Usenet is not a real-time communications medium.  Besides, what one sees may 
very well be different from what someone else sees, due to different feeds 
(different speeds and Paths), scorefiles, killfiles, and so on.

The reference material is freely available; there is no need to guess.  If 
you are not sure, just refrain from posting.  Nobody is being helped by wild 
guesses from people who have a smattering; you do not have to save the world 
alone.

No, it causes conversion to a 64-bit floating-point value that represents a 
32-bit integer value.
