Is there anything we can do to push this back a little bit? Is it really necessary to finish by midnight in Europe? I could be wrong, but I get the impresssion that many of us are night owls, and asking our friends in Europe to stay up a bit later (maybe 2am) isn't as bad as asking the Western USA folks to crawl out of bed at 5:30am. Last time I think we started at 8am on the US West Coast. That's still painful, but a lot nicer than 6am. --Peter >Current participants: > >Amateur Will Singleton >Amy Thorsten Greiner (Stefan Fredriksson operates) >Arasan Jon Dart >Averno Jose Carlos >Crafty Bob Hyatt >Diep Vincent Diepeveen >EXchess Dan Homan >Grok Peter Kappler >Hossa Steffen Jakob (possible) >Junior Amir Ban / Shay Bushinsky >Mint Christian Söderström >LambChop Peter McKenzie >PostModernist Andrew Williams >Shrike Dan Newman >Storm Sean Empey >Tinker Brian Richardson >Terra Peter Fendrich (possible)
