Considering the technical aspect of this, a web site administrator himself has to keep a track of the date of updation of the web page (as in the last time when a user added a comment etc.). There are even sites where a post/thread is removed after a specified number of days. So my honest opinion would be to look for the date of modification yourself and then only to decide whether the information is helpful or not. -- Mailing list guidelines and other related articles: http://lug-iitd.org/Footer
