Let me do a quick poll here then.
Have you (so far) been prevented from contributing by this open-close business?
If so, what times (I'm EST, so we're GMT -4 I think) would you rather I opened/closed at?
We could maybe set it up so that BdrLine closes if he's willing and I open.
Still pretty US-centric. Personally, I've got a wide range of time pockets I can fire off a post in, I know other are not so lucky.
