Reminiscing about the good ol' days

Archive.org provides a wonderful service of archiving past versions of websites.  For example:

Here's a page for the St. Louis United Way's website back in 2001

To quote:

Can I get help from a United Way-supported organization? Can anyone?

Certainly. The vital services provided by agencies are available to everyone - without regard to economic status, race or religion.

Of course, this being from 2001, it post-dates the Supreme Court case.  So they don't add 'sexual preference'.  However, the BSA also discriminates against atheists.  I guess the local United Way could try to claim they were unaware of this fact back in 2001.  But they've obviously been made aware of it since then, as this sentence can no longer be found on their site.

Well, that's not entirely true...now that archive.org provides us the old url, we discover the page is still there.  It just can't be found from following any links on the site.  Here is the current index page for the campaign folder where the page still is stored.

It certainly would be nice if the United Way could still say that.  There are at least two paths that could be taken by two separate entities to reach that juncture.  Nobody's not making any suggestions as to which path would be preferable.  Nobody's just relating fond memories of the past.
