Has anyone else noticed this? Posts 1-10 are in chronological order by time of most recent post with the newest first. As you step back in pages of 10, they are no longer in order. In some cases, adjacent posts jump forward or backward by months. This inconsistency makes it too easy to post a reply to an old thread that the OP no longer cares about.

```
I believe there was some sort of glitch that moved some old messages forward two or three months.

And, I thought that the Car Talk crew had invented a way to send replies back in time. Oh, DRATS!

Gives a whole new meaning to the word “recycling”. News is like food; you don’t want it recycled!
