Occasionally articles on the net have titles which end in "parse date string" or something like that. What does this mean? Is it some inside joke that I don't get or does some software always tack that on? ?????????, Ed Pawlak ihuxb!ewp

I have had the "parse date string" thing appear in titles of articles I have posted, and just now had "spell" inserted in the title of another. What is going on? I use "inews" to post articles, and we use B news here. Thanks. Mel Haas , houxm!mel

I have noticed that "parse date string" often occurs on our system here when following up an article. Without any real proof, I can only guess that that the data space used for the followup title is adjacent to the error message "Cannot parse date string". Somehow, the title does not get null-terminated and usually overwrites "Cannot"; hence the title: "Re: Foobar cannot parse date string". Only a SWAG. Randy King
