Your confusion here stems from the fact that Iain's computer has a fast 
clock. The messages I received came as follows:
Iain's: 6:59 PM
SkArcher's: 7:01 PM

However, because Iain's computer's clock is fast, the "time sent" stamp 
placed on eir message by eir system reads 7:02. But the relative times 
supposed by the sending computers is irrelevant - the actual order in 
which they arrived, which was correct, is what's important.

So in fact you don't.
