[net.news] time warp?

No, this is not a complaint about the messages from last month showing
up; I know about that.  However, I have noticed a couple of submissions
from NEXT WEEK today.  I saw one from Lauren dated March 31; I don't
remember the group, though.  However, I did manage to get the message-ID
of another future article: <265@opus.UUCP> is dated March 30, 1984.

Article <265@opus.UUCP> has indeed 30-Mar-84 as a posting date,
our site received it already 27-Mar-84!!

Here's another quirk:

Newsgroups: net.news
Subject: Very old articles are being re-submitted...
Date: Sun, 1-Apr-84 00:47:34 GMT
Posted: Sun, 1-Apr-84 00:47:34 GMT
Date-Received: Wed, 28-Mar-84 09:28:10+0200
Message-Id: <227@rna.UUCP>

And there seems to be tens of these.
Many sites are making the Daylight Saving Time adjustment
at this time of year?
