My most interesting topic, started in 1969

For some reason, a topic which was started by me, was born in... 1969. Unless an unexpected surge in interest occurs, I think https://www.librarything.com/topic/62656 can safely be removed.

Many years ago there was a bug in which, under some circumstances, the review date would be set to -1, which corresponds to one second before midnight on the night of December 31, 1969. This means it would show as from 1969. (Unix Time Zero is January 1, 1970). I never saw that happen for Talk, though, and don't see it now in the linked post which shows as being from 2009.

>2 lorax: Hi Lorax. The 1969 date can be seen in the list of Talk items I started, Talk >> Started by you. In the item itself , 2009 is used. Apparently I deleted it, which is mentioned, but in the list of items it still shows up. It does not undermine cosmic order, but it looks a bit silly. If any one of the higher authorities can get rid of it, by all means do.

Proud to be the source of a problem widely recognized as Weird :-)

Fixed.

Fixed but odd. The last message is deleted. While it makes sense to list the date of the deleted message there, it's also true there is no "last message." So the list view now has "no date" and the topic is sorted to the rock bottom of the list.
