    Thanks for the plug Marsha,

    I have to point out that none of the references are original to me, I've
    just brought them together from others like the MoQ site itself, and from
    Ant's stuff.

    The timeline is a great style for laying out this kind of info (a habit I
    stole from Jorn Barger).
    The problem with grouping links to many different kinds of things on many
    pages, is that grouping of links, by definition, uses someones ontology or
    taxonomy, classifying the links by subject matter or whatever. Anyone
    looking for information of interest is unlikely to share that same ontology
    of the world as the compiler of the pages, and is unlikely to find what
    interests them. The beauty of "time" is that it is a single dimension we can
    all agree on, whether we see it coming towards us from the future, or
    running ahead of us into the future.

    Also the reason DQ is a killer idea - the D is time.

    Seasons greetings to all.
    Even us non-believers can enjoy a pagan ritual or two.

    Ian
