. It would be what, only about 2:00 in the afternoon (14:00) on the 13th in Hawaii when Max posts at 9 in NZ

I think that's going to bethe weirdest part of the whole exercise, posting into a void. I'll probably have to post around 08:00 NZ time, as I'm going out later that morning, so I will have to post, and then wait hours for any response, except perhaps from Capital Kiwi. Even the West Islanders will be posting around 4 or 5 hours after me if they wait until 09:00 their time. The idea of my poor pathetic posts exposed to such prolonged silent scruitny gives me the screaming heebie-jeebies!
