Here is a new ATL Collaboarative Timeline. The idea is that any PODs can be added to the ATL, provided they follow three rules. First, there are no "extinction-event" items. Second, none of the events must contradict the predictions made by self-proclaimed psychic Jeane Dixon. Third, there are no PODs prior to 1918.
