<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 7549405, member: 19463"]There are many, many sites that belong in the graveyard. I look foolish enough when people see what I said today let alone them seeing the versions I corrected 20 years ago. The Internet has a feature that I find better than books. Errors can be corrected easily. Wayback insures pages that lost all their value years ago will never be put to rest. This seems worse on the YouTube videos servicing my other hobby (photography). When a new camera comes out, a dozen 'experts' review it and point out a 'terrible' flaw in their mind. A month later, the camera manufacturer releases a firmware update correcting the problem but those negative reviews live for years never being updated because their authors have moved on to the next latest and greatest thing. Perhaps there is a compromise position. All websites could bear a statement that the site has not been updated for x years and reports have been received that out-dated information is included.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
