If you ask for the difference in microseconds between two timestamps that are more than 32 years 9 months apart, you will exceed the 15-digit limit for duration values. This will result in an error or truncation.
Thanks. I missed that.

I'm trying to get a timestamp in milliseconds so that two stamps within a second of each other get different values. Unfortunately, there's no way to specify milliseconds on %diff, so I'm kind of stuck, unless I want to use a closer date. 01/01/1970 happens to be something of a standard. This is a tough limitation to work around.
