In your own defense, you have almost 80 years of continuity to sift through and a lot of the examples I brought up have been kind of cropped up at irregular intervals since the mid 80s, when the Marvel bullpen realized that they couldn't keep the status quo without sliding things forward, so don't worry about it.

On an aside, possibly the best explanation of the sliding time scale came from Jim Kruger and Alex Ross' Earth X trilogy (which is a great read, but they don't really get into it until the later half of Paradise X the third chapter of the trilogy) Which I have to say the best alternate reality tale ever was the Earth X trilogy, it's pretty much Marvel's answer to DC's Kingdom Come. Whereas DC only did three or four issues, Marvel did three limited series and a handful of specials. Great series, I recommend checking it out.
