I simply make (the sometimes wrong) assumption that something posted here is
'current' and not a year+ old.  I see little point in providing links to some-
thing that has been out for over a year, when posting it on an electronic

I'll try to play detective next time and look for dates.  But in any case,
I notice he still says the same things in other places.
