The title! Hmm, it must have been written in invisible ink... :-O

No, not that I am aware of. My clock is synchronised (time.windows.com).

strange, I see a '7 Jan 2019 12:20:01' timestamp for the message you replied to,
while you saw '7-1-2019 13:18'. why 58 minutes?
(I use uk.pool.ntp.org to provide time)
regards, jr.

I have no idea. The arcane workings of the internet are way beyond my
understanding. ;-)
thought: I read and write to the povray ngs using Thunderbird. Maybe
there is a time delay between writing and effective appearance on the
website?

Such a difference would not be caused by a desynchronized clock on the
reading computer, because the timestamp is an immutable value in the
message, created when the message is written. The displaying computer
may apply an offset based on the timezone it has configured, but that's
always multiples of 30 minutes, and is independent of the current time
on the computer. (E.g. you could set your computer's clock off by 7 days
11 hours and 12 minutes, and the message's timestamp would still only be
offset by less than 24 hours.)
Thomas' theory that it may be caused by the web frontend has some
merits: It may be that the web frontend creates its own timestamp when
it processes the message, and that may well be about 2 minutes after the
message is originally posted via the NNTP protocol. So the web version
of the replied-to post may have a different timestamp than the NNTP version.

that would seem to be the difference (cf clipka's post), I use the web
interface.
