I apologize.  I shouldn't have said that I actually distrust the 
timelines, but I have seen far too many arguments between people, 
where one group swears up and down that the Marauders were born in 
1960, and another claims 1961, and evil words have been said, and so 
on and so forth.  The 'circas' leave enough room for mobility, and 
most of us get caught up in our own preconceptions to allow another 
viewpoint.

I totally respect what you've done with the Lexicon, and I do find 
myself going to reference it quite often.  (I know my Dad reads it 
and sends me links about once a week.)  And the research you and your 
assistants have done is impeccible.

I don't distrust it based on the research done or the thought put 
into it.  You've done more work on that part of the HP world than 
anyone save JKR herself, I think.  So I apologize if any 
misunderstanding was taken, because it wasn't meant that way.
