MONTGOMERY PIE

   DARE has 1946.  It's from Montgomery County, PA.  The WASHINGTON POST should antedate this, and it does.

("Who has a recipe for Montgomery pie?  Here is the lady's letter:...Also, do you know 'the Montgomery pie,' that is a Pennyslvania dish, but do not know more of it, except that it is a form of pie.  Perhaps you can help me.  I like your column very much.")

Let's hope no one decides the list should become a repository for an
endless stream of sightings of phenomena related to "phonological,
grammatical, and stylistic/registral variation" either.

   Say that does happen.  Say that Dennis Preston decides to put all his work on ADS-L for free.  I would try to accommodate him as much as possible.  It would be a blessing.
   But me?  Maybe I'm allowed a "Montgomery pie" antedating here and there, but not a lot of antedatings.  That's bad!
   I can put this stuff on the Dictionary Society of North America's web site.  I can put it on DARE or Merriam-Webster or OED web sites, if they choose to make such sites.  The posts would probably become their property.
   It belongs on an ADS web site.
   If Scott has a better idea than to just get rid of it all, I'll listen to it.
