So I think that it would be a public service if folks who are good at that sort of thing and still somewhat careful about the level of confidence in each item of hypothesis could put together a provisional but still fairly well nailed down Chronology of What's The Deal with SlimVirgin Et Alia Et Aliæ Et Alii Et Aliisimus.
I was going to make a dynamic page for accumulating data, but as I see myself becoming a more and more casual participant here, maybe it would be better if someone else did that. The idea is to keep a page near the top of the thread that has the best current version of the hypothetical timeline. When you get an edition that most everyone has a lot of confidence in — oh, I dunno, you could take a poll on it — then it might be suitable for ventilation on the op-ed blog.
