[Chris Schulz]

I understand on the honor system. Just keep it simple and not make work out of it. I would in for a dry run of this. What do you have in mind? Let’s  see if anyone else speaks up as being interested in the dry run.

We could try a 4 hour window on a weekend and something during the week the next time. Just see what works and the level of participation amongst individuals on this reflector. This could maybe turn into something.

Now this may have limits as checking them could really become a job. So many things could be done with this. Inject other ideas if others have them. Just creating the parameter’s for the next month could be fun. Then again, I don’t know how this was done before. Four hours is a great window. 73
