Now that we've basically run the warp speed question into the ground
(with everyone giving a different "definitive answer" it's time for
a new question that's been bugging me for some time:

		How do stardates work?

It seems to me that in the early episodes they were down at about 1600
or so and then later on they got up to 6500 quickly.  If this were
the case they would get into Astronomic [:-)] numbers very fast.
Does anyone have any info on this?
