OT -- Weekenders

It's a good idea to give others "the benefit of the doubt". Although there are certainly those who "do it while at work", it seems to me that the greatest activity is in early evening (after work). [This is more difficult to determine because one must look at the headers to determine the time zone of the poster, and speculate as to what their working hours might be].

Perhaps weekend activity is low because people spend them on holiday, or performing vintning activities?

Amongst those who "do it at work", some of them may lack internet access from home, and many of them have their employer's permission to do so (during coffee and lunch breaks, as well as during "slow times").

Also a great many of us are retired, and thus anything we do during "office hours" is at no one's expense and time but our own.

I post from work... the news servers here actually work :^) Besides, we are allowed to surf for personal stuff during breaks and lunch.

I don't really use the internet at home much on the weekends, as it is right now.

I post from work. I own the company. All 10 people who work for me have access to the internet here at work and can use company facilities and time to use the internet as long as they get their work done.

During my extended stays in London, I found that the people there regularly left work early or sometime during the day to do shopping or pick up laundry as shops were only open during office hours. A boss needs to be flexible and realistic and create a workable, livable environment. He will get more work out of his people if he does.
