Unhappy Glitch?
One thing I can never figure out is how I can be the only respondent in a thread that has 0 responses and then the one who posts after me, their post ends up being listed before mine. Not that I mind but it does tend to rob me of my credit when I provide a solution because it appears that I did nothing but paraphrase or capitalize someone elses post as if I was a cheap opportunist and a plagarist.

Could that be the calendar or the time zone that has that effect that would get posts in the reverse order but appear to be normal?

Posts are placed in threads top to bottom, oldest to newest. Perhaps someone else is replying at the same moment you are, and just pushes Submit a second sooner?

I see that in the following thread, a reply came in one minute before yours. You probably didn't see it as you were typing your response at the same time. This happens quite often.

I think that is what it is. It just happens so frequently it had a seemed suspicious.
