Hello sir,
This is in reference to howtocreate.co.uk, especially browserSpeeds.html.
You have excellent editorial content here. These are successfully thorough
and competent articles, but they have no dates. They are applicable for
[encyclopedia] reference but, as we both know, dates are imperative to gain
appropriate perspective on
software benchmark analysis.
Thank you,
Franklin

I disagree entirely. Application versions are far more important than dates.
Dates are irrelevant. It doesn't matter whether an application was tested in
1995 or 2005; if the application version is clearly stated, and the
conditions of testing were clearly stated and maintained (which they were),
it's still exactly the same application.
[Ed. With respect to the other articles, this site is not a blog. It is not
used to write-once-then-forget. Articles on this site are maintained over
time. Deprecated or retired articles are clearly labelled as such. If they
are not labelled in that way, you can safely assume they are being kept
updated. Dates, as such, are irrelevant.]
In any case that article is retired, so its contents and annotation will not
change. It should not be used as a reference anywhere, since it no longer
deals with current versions of the browsers. It is retained for personal
interest only.
But, if you search through my previous emails, you should be able to
find a reply that clearly says the dates for all of the tests.
