This question is especially for Crashfrog, the administrators, and those of you that post here at 4 or 5 in the morning. Seriously, do you guys ever sleep?

Sleep?
I only sleep 5 to 6 hours a night. Did you use "the process of elamination" to choose your screen name?

Lam,
Don't forget that people are posting from Oz and the UK. The local clock on EvC is on Eastern standard time. I believe there is about a 5 hour difference between Greenwich mean and EST, or maybe its 4 hours between EDT and GMT. Not sure what the time difference between Australia and EDT is though.

This forum has an international membership. There's never a time where everyone is asleep. And I almost never post before 7:00 am. Or (much) after midnight. Local time, that is.

Sleepy Time
I sleep, mostly, from about 3 am et (evctime) to 9 am et. (pacific coast daylight savings) and usually have a peek here first and last thing plus a few times through the day.

It's currently 6:30 AM here (Australian Eastern Time) and Greenwich Mean Time reads 20:30, so I suppose this places me ten hours ahead of GMT. Heh, not that anyone cares, of course. I just thought I'd throw that out there, on the off chance that it's of any use.
If you want to compare local times, around the world, you can find them at:
The World Clock — Worldwide
Hope this helps!

Totally off topic
Hey Ned, I assume you live in BC. I'm still trying to start an uprising in the Northwest (US) to join BC and create our own country. We might even get Victoria to boot. No one will miss Idaho. Hell, most Americans call my state Iowa anyway, we won't be missed. Let me know if I can count on you cooperation, I already have the pamphlets printed!!!
(note to Homeland Security: the preceding is just a joke, please, oh please don't arrest me!!!).

I post at odd times.... I guess that’s because I have an odd life... Like when I go on digs I can't sleep because of the excitement (like a little kid I guess) so although it cost me alot of money I am on my labtop...(the age of computers... in the middle of nowhere but on a computer)

Re: Totally off topic
You might have my support. However you have to leave all of the NRA out of it.

Re: Totally off topic
You might have my support if you can get a good exchange for your currency. It's the closest place to Saskatchewan that's decent for vacationing.

Re: Totally off topic
My friend was vacationing in Idaho a while back and he told us this story when he got back.
While in Idaho, someone told him that if he would look around carefully, there's a beautiful girl behind every tree in Idaho.
My friend thought for a minute before he realized a little fact and answered, "wait, there are no trees in Idaho."
