Nathan,

Good point. All the time zones are represented here. This sometimes
leads to misunderstandings such as this one. It also sometimes provokes
unfounded irritation when one posts a reaction to an article while the
original poster is asleep and oblivious of the developing thread, and
vice-versa, when the US produces 50+ posts and threads that seem cold
meat to their authors when Euroland or Asia respond...
