I remember checking http://lds.org at least once a month in the middle 90's and there was only 1 page there until February 1997. There was only 1 page, before Feb. 97 not 4 or 5 like the article says. This is at least the second time I've read that misstatement. You can check online backups to verify that my memory is correct. Go to http://archive.org and search. You'll find (http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://lds.org ) that there was only a place holder page in 96 and before. I hope that Richman or whoever the PR people are will correct themselves. The Daily Herald wrote:
