Thanks.  The dates are meant as a way of stirring up discussion by reminding
people of relevant historical events.  Many of the dates were suggested
by other people.  Privateers has been particularly active in that regard.
Suggestions from all of you are welcome.  I'll be putting up a web form
to facilitate such suggestions.  Meanwhile, sending them to
 owner-sinclair@matrix.net
will work fine.

I suspect they predate any formal system of assigning such things.
Others on the list will doubtless know more about this.
