That's probably because the webmaster isn't updating that when changes
are made.  Something like this:

print "Last Updated: ".strftime('%e-%b-%Y %T',
filemtime($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']));

In the file would take care of it automatically...if the site supports
PHP, which I believe it does.

On the other hand, I think a lot of the site is coming out of databases
these days, and isn't static HTML, so you can add events without
changing the page...which ends up just being a kind of "template" for
what gets seen and the "last mod" date becomes the date of the last
template change, not the date of the last information change.
