Hey Carol!

 CS> Anyone can make a proposal.  It just doesn't get changed to a
 CS> 'standard' unless widely in use.

It occurs to me that 'widely in use' for something that isn't a 'standard' is
going to be difficult to prove.  However I am formulating an evil, demented
plan that would scan msg's posted in FTSC_PUBLIC that contain the so-called
corrected DateTime stamp, known as '%F %T %z' in strftime-speak, no matter
where it is placed in the msg_body which includes kludges or such as in the
top line of this reply or even quoted.  Thus this reply if posted in
FTSC_PULIC would be counted as both a post and a positive hit for the
corrected DateTime stamp whereas the msg I am replying to would only be
counted as a post and not as a hit for the corrected DateTime stamp.

I haven't written the routine yet but am thinking Jan. 1, 2021 would be the
target date for implimentation.

And yes I do realize that I am a prolific poster in FTSC_PUBLIC which could be
interpretted as skewing the data but to be honest I have no issue with that. 
How about you?

Life is good,
Maurice
