Can I show all timestamps in Google Earth by default?

I am looking at creating KML tags with Timestamp elements . This is very easy to do, but I don’t like the behavior of Google Earth showing a small amount of time when KML initially loads. I would like it to show the full time period (and therefore all labels) by default.

Is there any way to do this? I do not see any settings in Google Earth or anything in the KML documentation for this.

The alternative that I am considering is basically to duplicate each label and have 1 set with timestamps and 1 without, in separate folders. Folders will use the switch select function. I would like to avoid this if possible, since KML could potentially have thousands of labels and seems to be a waste for duplicate nodes.

Here's an example from this source that has KML with tags if you want to see the behavior I'm talking about.

Update: The behavior that I see using a time slider that does not use the full range of KML tags that it contains seems to be that the file is downloaded via a network link to a local file. I am not sure how to control the behavior of the time slider in this case. I may have a link to "fly to view on refresh" that sets the time slider correctly, but I don’t want to move the camera to lat / long, as I update every 4 seconds.
