I think someone missed the point here...

Or am I wrong?

Thanks for your comments. We do not control who decides to email our
pieces. Sometimes when another website mentions them, they are viewed
again. However, we need to rely on the wisdom of our viewers to check
the date stamp. We have over 3 million stories archived and could not
put a "mark" on all of them.

COMMENTS: Your 'most emailed' list has:
  Self-cert mortgages could skew market
at number 3.

It's very misleading to have this 4 year old story linked to on the
front page of the BBC news - especially since the time of year
corresponds.

Maybe you should consider a background image, like a watermark, that
says 'old news - check the date of this story' for stories over a
certain age (6-months or a year).
