Forgive me for not understanding, but if you saw the proper year applied to the article in my posting, why would you say, “If I were you, I would have noted that this article is from 2008.”?

The article’s date is right there next to the website name and the author in my thread posting. Since the thread was posted with the proper date, how else should I have posted the date???

Because I have had this happen to me before. Where I’ve read an article not realizing it was old, until informed by someone else, because I had not noticed the date near the title. However, I have read old articles, where the person who posted it, also made a comment....ya know, in the “comment” area of the very 1st post on the thread....or they put a metion of the date in bold letters, in parenthesis, next to the headline....where they informed the readers that they had posted an old article.

I am so sorry my comment has upset you so much. I never intended for your thread to become a discussion on dates. For heaven’s sake, get a grip.
