This thread is to serve as a file for the known information on the time line, and for adding new information as it becomes available. Please include link to source of your information.
If the thread becomes full and cumbersome, the information could simply be sorted out and reorganized into a new file with the same title, and this one deleted.

Go to this link before you do anything else, otherwise this will make no sense
-and a dang shame it was, too.
Maple flavored flapjack bunnies and beeber dams, on the other hand, are a more recent discovery, after which stuned beeber recipes abounded and somewhere, a deeply saddened Tom Daschle came into the picture. But maybe that didn't occur until hhe was brutally sporked by the axis of weasels.
Strangely I feel like I've been here before.

Would someone start posting profanities so I don't have to humiliate myself by asking the mod to pull thread.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
oh man. I'm not going to read the rest.
MODERATOR!!!!
FOTFL My kids usually resorted to calling me by my first name at this point.
I had a classic case of tunnel vision. Somehow, I had overlooked the fact that only the few people who read my post on the other thread would know what I was talking about. If I had just added "This thread is to discuss ideas for a Duke rape hoax file system" at the beginning, I would have been all right:)
Good day!
I see you explained this later- but for a while, I was scratching my head, wondering "what the Sam Hill is this all about..."
That's where we differ. I understood the thread perfectly when I posted it. Now I have no idea what it's about!
"It all started at a 5000-watt radio station in Fresno, California..."
Submit a script to see if they'll buy it. We could have a thread about nothing.
How can we have a thread about nothing?
Well, look at the stuff they're using already. A thread about nothing would fit in perfectly well.
You access this system by entering DLX in a keyword search. The key is keeping DLX reserved for Duke lacrosse file threads. Here's a test:
Who is running against Mike Nifong in the upcoming election for DA in Durham?
Got a working model up. See what you think.

Looks good. I don't know how long the story you're tracking is going to run or how many articles you're going to accumulate.

His ping notification is also useful & every Friday we get pinged to the Weekly digest so we can see if we missed anything interesting:

"Please don't put DLX in the keyword system. We can decide later if we should."
This thread went horribly wrong, and it was fun.
No FReeper worth his salt could resist such an opportunity to score points!
I had a good LOL on #10. It was just one of those days.
It would just be a matter of dragging one link to the appropiate file(s). IOW, It would be as simple as doing 1000 copy and pastes. Do I have that right?
! HAL9000 - Links to News Sources (v 2.10)
I believe it is the most dense and complex set of links posted on this site. It was difficult to get the page to post the way I wanted it because FR's posting software modifies the HTML, adding blank lines where they were unwanted, and generally messing up the desired format.
Eventually, I wrote a PHP script to generate that page, and added extra features like opening the links in a new window. The main trick to get the formatting right was to eliminate all end-of-line characters (carriage returns, newlines, etc.) That preserves the format, but makes the page difficult to maintain in HTML format. It's relatively easy to maintain now in PHP.
Unfortunately, there were some extra things like HTML search forms that were impossible to post on FR, but I have them working on my local copy of the page.
I could tell you how to put 1000 links into an HTML file with relative ease. Yahoo mail has a bookmarks feature, but you need a mail account there. They're free, so there'd be no cost. You can download your favorites or bookmarks to it, create links there (type or c&p) & edit the order they're in there. It spits out an HTML file.
You could hit "view source" & post chunks of it with copy & paste. You wouldn't have a dazzling look with it, but it would get the job done.

Each one to be put into a reply post on the appropriate file thread. IOW, a file thread with 100 links would have 100 replies.
Would that be a simple matter of copy and paste X 100?
I should probably explain something. I use a an msntv. I don't own a mouse.
And I think I answered my own question.
Obviously, you have a lot of motivation to undertake this project. I wish you had some better equipment, because it's helpful in this type of investigation.
Back in the Dark Ages of the Clinton Administration, I used to collaborate with a guy known as "jqp" on the Whitewater newsgroup. For years, we gathered every news article we could find on Clinton scandals, stored them on our computers, and used search utilities to connect-the-dots for research purposes.
Although we were not professional journalists or researchers, we broke a few major news stories (and several minor ones) and we did some incredible damage to the Clinton administration. Some of those articles are documented on my FR home page. We could not have done it without some good basic software.
So I believe that a person like you could find a smoking gun in the Duke scandal - but you really need some basic good tools and procedures to do it. When you have thousands of details to sort through, it's too inefficient to do it manually.
I haven't been following the case, but my sister is a Duke graduate. I'll have to ask her about it sometime.

If you had a thread with 100 posts, each one containing a link formatted like #46 - how much work is involved in turning those 100 posts into 10 posts on a new thread that look like #45?
To clarify - I mean the text and the link would be packaged into the format style of #45.
Maybe your sister would like one of the blue wristbands in support of the lax players. They're blue silicone with inlaid printing, and they're really neat. I'll FReepmail details.
