Time Correction?

Yes. Apparently he was doing what he could to reset the threads after the System Clock went out of whack. When the System Clock is off - it puts posts in the incorrect place, as the clock time may be fore of the correct time. It appears it still took some effort on his part & possibly that of a vB software guru, heck - maybe even go into CMOS to synchronize it's time with system clock time to get it straight after the posts were submitted. All in an effort to get it running at the correct time, and thereby have our posts show up in a linear fashion, to put it in an oversized nutshell.
