And what is wrong with that? It is UTC - 6 hours. (which does appear
to
be an hour off for his location in Burlington, Ontario)

Maybe I've made an error? This is the DTG here in the UK 05 February
2009 08:49 (that's GMT)

I therefore dtermined that the post was made in the middle of the night.

Am I wrong?

What I don't understand is how the NNTP-Posting-Host:
TK2MSFTNGHUB02.phx.gbl points to *127.0.0.1*. Is there a simple
explanation?

Perhaps he is running his own news server?


Maybe so. I have no idea why that should result in 127.0.0.1 ........
which was why I am asking!


If you look at their web site here http://www.identit.ca/events.html
- other than in Internet Explorer - you will note that the broad grey
band is in the incorrect position. Maybe they cannot be bothered to
put their 'shop window' right - but it is NOT what I would expect
from 'professionals'.

I've looked at the pages of many Microsoft MVPs over the years. Nearly
all of them are poorly written, this one included. Few of them seem to
acknowledge there are other browsers besides Internet Explorer. The
page
you list:
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.identit.ca%2Fevents.html>
Errors found while checking this document as HTML 4.01 Transitional!
Result: 20 Errors, 8 warning(s)

When I increase its silly 8pt text to something I can actually read,
the
whole design falls apart quite badly.

But it seems typical of MVP sites...


That's as maybe, BTS, but this isn't *any* MVP is it?

"The IdentIT Inc. team is made up of some of the most skilled and
respected technology experts in the industry."

It says so here: http://www.identit.ca/services.html

If they are *that* good (!!!) I cannot understand their attitude with
regard to their 'shop window' nor to their attitude towards me when I
tried to help them to correct matters.

Thanks again for taking a look. :)
