(Huge thanks to Silver Zero from echoing the sound for making this list) (Silver Zero: Okay, everyone. As far as I know, this list is completely comprehensive, fully cited, and in chronological order (as of 4/11/07). This took me a while to do, and I tried to do it as thoroughly and accurately as possible, but if you feel I've missed something, or I haven't given the proper credit to whomever, just PM me or leave a message on the thread or something. As we get more mined texts, I'll update this as necessary.
NOTE: This does not include references to pieces of literature found in areas other than the backgrounds of these ARG sites, e.g. "The Stand" reference on Hollywood In Memoriam or the Martin Niemoller poem found from the Francisco auto-reply on SBI.
