If we were to get people to travel into the meeting on Saturday and then start the meeting on Sunday, and end on Thursday late afternoon (i.e. no Friday meetings), then most of us will only have to be away for one weekend. I have always believed this, too, but it turns out it's really only optimal for those who come for all or at least most of the week. When I've suggested this in the past (years ago) I was told that the majority of the attendees didn't come for the week, thus it's the wrong optimization. I don't know if this is still true. On the other hand, it's also no longer optimal because now there are other scheduling conflicts for Sunday.... Jim -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
