As the (non) brilliant author of this idea, two suggestions:
1. let's make a single combined post such as Ryvetted's awesome Elimination thread. And like her Elimination list, not every random thing can make it to the list.
2. No posting of dates and events in here as fact that can't be sourced, at least with a reference to how it is known. No point making a list of the random Ca-Ca that circulates around the Internet. If one knows of a date (Jason and Melissa spent Christmas together) because of some inside leak, it can't go on this chronology, unless it can be sourced. We may miss REAL events that way, but at least we won't write a thread that's 99.9% tail-chasing.
To have value as a tool against which to weigh new information and from which to draw inferences and hypothesize the missing dates/events, a chronology has to be corroborated with something close to real evidence. So, therefore, one writes down the underlying fact, NOT inferences from a fact. (So, for example, if someone is absent from her office, the chron notes that and the source (e.g., Myspace, coworker's post), BUT makes no assumption about why (e.g., she was with Jason)-- simply notes the fact of it, and the source, if possible to post).
If there are any accountants, doctors, authors, or Indian Chiefs or whomever, they might have a better way of making this a useful thread, and to reference Will Shakespeare, wish to simple "kill" all my ideas first.
