    I was not anywhere near a D'Bridge system on July 27th. That day around that time I was asleep in the Big Bear Motel in Cody Zyoming and receiving the phone
    call that my dad had passed away.

    This message originally was posted on Jan.20 2014 ... so what happened here?

    Some system reposted this and changed the date. Where have I seen this before?

    maybe... it could easily be another one recovering from a crash and starting with restored configs and echo areas... then the operator just didn't think to stop the mailer, let the tosser scan for outbound mail and then delete that mail before starting the mailer back up... this used to be taught to all sysops
    when they were starting... it all but disappeared when that "BBS-in-a-box" mess
    came out back in the 90s and anyone could throw up a BBS without any training or assistance...

    the necessary mindset and skillz are being lost :(

    That should not change the date of the message.

    agreed... unless they were rebuilding by restoring from a QWK offline mail feed
    of the areas... many BBS QWK doors changed the date of the messages when they are uploaded into the BBS by users... i can easily see someone having archived messages in QWK format and then restoring them via the same manner...
