suggest adding posting dates to follows-up and references


FWIW, here's a change that I would find beneficial:

At the bottom of a post, which is either a reply and/or has a follow-up, 
we see something like the following example:

 • Follow-Ups:
      ◦ Re: Hangs on connect to UNIX socket being listened on in the same process (was: Cygwin hanging in pselect) 
           ◾ From: Erik Bray

 • References: 
      ◦ Re: Hangs on connect to UNIX socket being listened on in the same process (was: Cygwin hanging in pselect) 
           ◾ From: Erik Bray

I would find it helpful to follow the users’ names with the date of the 
posting. This would be especially useful when there is a long list of 
either follows-up or references to help find the one being sought. 
For example:

       ◾ From: Erik Bray, Mon, 9 Jan 2017 14:29:00 +0100
