When in Rome...

Amidst the flurry of profile comments that were flying around (mostly from Lisa in the UK, and one from Scot in Michigan) this past hour, I noticed something unusual when the email notifications finally caught up once Outlook Express downloaded them.

Here is a snapshot of a couple entries in my Inbox:



Notice anything interesting? The title for Scot's comment has the date in MM/DD form and the time in 12-hour AM/PM form whereas the one for Lisa's comment follows the European standard: DD/MM and 24-hour timestamp.

I thought it was fascinating that the titles of those notifications matched not MY preferences/country-specific foibles, but those of the person who wrote the comment!
