Injecting "fake" APRS Messages to APRS-IS?

[Itay Angi]

Hi There All!

I have a question if I may: Is there any way to inject an APRS message into the APRS-IS (or in any other way so it will appear on aprs.fi), without really sending the message?

   This question brings me to even deeper one: Is there any way to Inject a message that was brought to you (without passing at all in the APRS-IS), into this database with the real hour and destination it was sent with?

 For example, I got a message from someone in the US at 4pm without it going through APRS-IS (and therefore it's not shown on aprs.fi). At 5pm I want to add this information into the aprs.is databases, but I want it to be shown as that the guy from the US sent it to me at 4pm from his loaction (and not that I sent it to the internter afterward at 5pm from my location). Does anyone hear about a method which in this thing could be done? 

Thanks in advanced,

Itay.

No, not really. Why would you want to do that?

Since most of the APRS packets do not contain timestamps, and those
packets which have timestamps often contain invalid timestamps (or in
unknown/wrong timezones), aprs.fi always stores and displays the
server-side time it received the packet.

Why would you want to do that kind of thing? Puzzling.
