Close enough. Last Saturday night at about 10:30 P.M. I started a thread that posted at ~ 4 A.M. the next day. Bug?

My posts appear before I even think of them.

I've noticed that my posts always appear to be timestamped as much as 15 minutes before I actually made them. Now, my computer clock isn't the most accurate thing in the world (it once lost 12 hours on me, which Spoz thought was cool).. but when I make a post at 6:28 PM, and it's timestamped at 6:12 PM (as happened on my last post)... there's something gumming up the works, methinks.

Oh well.. I haven't had anything like what [b][eunoia/b] describes.

Several conjectures to explain the discrepancy between board time and standard time are suggested in this thread from last August (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=203159).
