It's an error with the forums. Apparently there are more important things to be done before it can be fixed.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

Heh, Apolyton member for 31 years and still going strong.
The error has to do with members who registered, IIRC, before a date (?) in early '99. A fix is supposed to get out the door in a bit. When is up in the air, as DaShi said.Comment

I think H Tower is a DL. My detective work is as such:
If he was really from Illinois, the registration date would show Dec 1969, not Jan 1970...

The 1969 would only occur if he had set his time zone in his proble, the default being gmt.Gaius Mucius Scaevola Sinistra

Beatles broke up (duh)
But of course we all know that it says 1969 for all of us to remember the death of the member of the greatest rock and roll band ever, Brian Jones of the ROLLING STONES

I think 1970 is a "universal" default representing a time before PCs. I'm nopt sure if its a M$ ir an IBM idea but old versions of DOS start from 1970 if no date is set on startup.(+1)Comment

Not sure about the year DOS aplication came on-line.
I believe the 1970 is just a default setting that no one bothered to change.I believe Saddam because his position is backed up by logic and reason...David Floyd
