Re: Toolbar hover tooltips taking loooooong time to show up

I wondered why I never saw the post...apparently the time change caused it to sort so far
off-screen that I couldn't see it at all...

We're experiencing erratic time delays before the hover tooltips show
up.

Did changing the clock on your computer help or hinder?

??? How is that going to have any impact? (I cant see the original post
for some reason, perhaps OP has date issues).

Ajay,
It was a tongue-in-cheek comment since the OP has changed the system clock
apparently to ensure that his post is seen at the top of most people's
newsreaders. This kind of "time travel" is as rude as cutting in line
because the OPs assumption is that his problem is far more important than
everyone else's. It's also one of those little things that makes newsgroups
less usable over time.

-Pete
