The point is that IRC is too much a medium of geocentricity.  I *might*
be attending (I think it's 9am Monday in Australia), but many of the
more constructive posters on this list live outside the convenient
timezones.  As someone pointed out earlier, "no matter what, it's gonna
be 3am somewhere", and I don't think *anyone* on this list should be
left-out of a forum where major topics will be discussed simply because
they were unfortunate enough to be born outside the good ol' US of A. :)
