[OT] Reset date (was Re: Squeak mini-meta-FAQ)

Sorry for sending out several messages with the 1970 date yesterday.  I left
my laptop (Apple 15" powerbook) in sleep mode for a few days until it ran out
of power.  This seems to reset the date, which is a pretty serious flaw IMHO.

(Is there any way the mailing list could stamp messages with the date they
arrive at the server?)

That would be a good location.

But I think a regular posting here would actually be a good idea.  
However, once a month I think would be plenty.  I think usenet FAQs 
were usually posted about once per month.

At once per month, it would only add about 0.05% to the current level 
of traffic on squeak-dev.  And I like the idea that it's not something 
you have to go look for.  (Yes, it is sort of forced upon everyone, but 
I *still* like it. :-) )
