Rebuilding takes time! 100's of old ones to come back eventually.
I am in the process, slowly, of rebuilding my web site. It is not my top priority. I have pushed 100's of blog type things on various topics through the years. Many of them I will try to eventually copy back here, and put them as close to the original date as I can. Some of them (many) the actual date is known and entered. Others the month is known and the day is estimate. All of them should be accurate to the year and 'within a month', if the year is not known, it comes up as 'before 2008'. Now, you might also be wondering: why are some Published dates earlier than 2000, when this web site has only been around since 2000? Simple answer: Because they were published before this website, and then ported to this website. Ones with dates in the 2017 on range are almost always very accurate. For update dates, those are used when there is a 'real' update. They are not used for fixing typos or formatting. In many cases, in the body, I put a note "Updated: " and sometimes a month so you know what was updated, when. Some further notes. I work partly for myself - enough money for my family - but the bulk of what I do is for charitable work and related (like a federal government board, vocal observer or member in other volunteer boards.) Throughout this site i refer to things that I am doing. Technically a lot of it is really for one of these other institutions, so technically it isn't me - but I consider the money of the boards I sit on to be mine from a responsibility perspective and I don't always (most of the time I don't) make a distinction, so when I say 'I' it may just as easily be what I am doing through a board as it is that I am doing directly for myself.
