You're absolutely right - some people very clearly cannot. AHS

How will the popularity of old information change the fact that he linked to out-of-date documents? By linking to current documents, <http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/sql/Timestamp.html> even for classes that existed in earlier versions, one leads the querent to better hotlinks, enhanced explanations, new interfaces implemented, generics type parameters, and different packages and types listed in the various frames. You deprive the querent of that enhanced hyper-navigation opportunity or other potentially helpful information by steering them to out-of-date docs. All your suggestion does is provide evidence that over a longer period of time, older docs have had more time to gain ranking in a Google search. It completely ignores the reduction in helpfulness that an obsolete link provides. -- Lew

Perhaps google is not the definitive answer to java docs, then. BugBear

Google is not perfect. But it may still be the best around. Arne |
