I doubt I have ever seen these words nor ideas.

Interesting that I have 3 responses to the original post.    Perhaps we 
have a time zone issue?   Like when I was flamed at 06:00 the morning 
after, for not responding to a post I sent at 21:00. We sometimes need a 
way of knowing the the poster maybe sleeping while many are awake. 
But then would you believe that I posted at 21:00 today, when you read 
it at 6:00 today. Put that into context, my current time is 
Fri06Mar2020@14:23:53  Many of you will read it on Thursday evening?

My solution has been to bcc my self and an archive address. I am slowly 
working towards a better email server, but it takes time.
