Gary, I believe Scott B was saying if that data was available, he requested that it be included in the post. Yes some reliable time (data) is prefered to none at all. Rich Glasser.

If I observe or relay (credible) observations, but do not know intervals or durations, should I post? For example, if one sees a Grand at 6:00 am, but does not the prior overnight, the interval, should one post? Is some data better than none? Sorry, but the lawyer in me sometimes surfaces.

Information of that sort is extremely valuable, and necessary for any reasonable archive. Therefore, I and others (at least one of whom requested that I post this) ask that when observations are made (in the frontcountry, too), that posts be made to this list with descriptions in addition to raw data.
