I apologize for sending two messages on this, but I thought folks who are interested in this particular debate would want to see a fuller context of the notorious time line assignment. This was sent to me last week by a colleague. Not wishing to compound my breach of Netiquette, I have deleted the comments that were added. I hope people will feel more able to effectively evaluate this assignment in light of this additional information.
