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.
