[amsat-bb] Seriously - can this be updated?

[Oliver Krystal]

It would be nice if outdated pages are marked as such.  This has been 
voiced before.

However, I do not have the time to offer to fix such things so I hold my 
tongue.  I prefer only to criticize if I have a suggestion and the 
ability to make such things better.

If the state of the website offends you so, why not ask how you can help 
to make it better?
