Howdy,

The problem, as pointed out in a previous e-mail of mine on this topic, is that one never knows or remembers what was said on the wiki or other web site. That means that if I want to send someone there I've got to go check to see if it's recent and correct (and possibly edit it, etc.) before I can send the person there. Often its actually easier to just give the advice again. And maybe it will strike someone differently this time around (assuming I'm not just copying it from a previous e-mail) and they will pick up the idea.

If everything on the web had to have a date prominently displayed it would be better.

Good Luck,
