Hi Tabitha,
> If you pop into Jay's board you will see this is Kristen's idea of a joke. Her post there came after RichardN's first post.
Shortly after RichardN’s first post, I checked over at Jay's Board and noticed the post by Kristen that you are referring to. I checked the post times in hopes of finding a discrepancy. However, time zone conversions are required before the post times can be compared.
As you probably know, the post times on Dr. Bob's site are central time zone (University of Chicago). However, Jay's Board uses GMT time. After the time zone conversions are done, it turns out that Kristen posted to Jay's Board on Tuesday April 9, 2003 at 7:43 pm local time in California (where she lives). The first RichardN post on PBA was posted on Wednesday April 10, 2003 at 1:19 am local time in California, which is subsequent to her post to Jay’s Board. All of this assumes I did the time zone conversion arithmetic correctly.
I supply this merely as an FYI, Tabitha.
