How silly!  The viewers of a web page want to know the last itme the 
CONTENT was modified.  An automated script simply tells what time the 
last correction was made.  If I modify a file to correct a typo, it gets 
a new date, which is then completely meaningless from teh reader's point 
of view. 

Scripts like that only represent the triumph of form over content.
