Categorized Answers are basically static, and nobody really needs to know the creation dates except QAndAEditors, who do see them (when you're viewing a Categorized Question).

Since the Q&A section is not a place for "discussion", like SOPW, it doesn't much matter when the answers were created.

Furthermore, the categorized answers are always sorted by reputation, and date/time shouldn't play a role (in my opinion, if a date/timestamp serves any purpose at all is to give perspective on basically how a discussion goes, and since Q&A is not a place for discussion, there is no point to it).

I don't know why gods made Q&A like that originally, but that's my take on the situation (as a QandAEditor and monk).

Peace

MJD says you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo! I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6x+5.8x. I take requests. ** The Third rule of perl club is a statement of fact: pod is sexy.

As the versions of Perl march on, some answers (and questions) do become less relevant.
