Have you noticed that your copy of ABP, if it doesn't find a date, slaps the date it pulled it on the feed? This is significant because .. if you cron ABP, and it builds a large database of these feeds (even if you aren't posting them OUT), when you DO post them, the site you post them to will get the dates ABP assigned at the time of the pull. i.e., it will LOOK like a dated feed. When ABP posts, it tells WordPress the date it has in its database, so all of the posts don't look like they were posted all at once. I can make sites, for example, in about 10 minutes that have 3,000 posts -- and if I use the Markov engine, it shuffles the text around nicely, too. ICQ me if you want to learn how to maximize what you're doing with ABP .. there are quite a few tricks.
We've been kicking around the idea of an ABP Power Pack (some utilities to go along with ABP for very advanced users), which would probably include a "date shuffler" for your post database.
