RE: comments on Friday scheduling, etc.

W.r.t. the claims about weekends being spoiled for those
traveling in from different continents, I would observe that
the way we schedule things now basically means that many
of those travelers get 2 weekends (at least partially)
taken away from their friends/families.

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.
