How updated are datasheets?

I was checking out a benchmark in Gladstone, MI. Data sheet that is listed at geocaching.com shows that the last time it was recovered was in 1977 (in good condition).

 

If I go to http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/ds_pid.prl and I put in the PID of this benchmark, the datasheet there shows that the BM was found no longer existing in 2002.

 

So, I guess my question is...how often or when was the last time the data sheet information contained within the geocaching.com website updated?

 

BTW, the PID of the BM was QL0170. Look it up at both sites.

We bought the full dataset in early 2001, with plans to have benchmarking much sooner than we did. We still have the parsing engine but need to update the data. This data is fortunately available online, so we may be able to do some updates shortly.
