I think this is a great idea, especially for those who are at home a lot. But for those who work, and those who are in very different time zones, there would be some difficulty. On the other hand, it would encourage people in the same time zones, i.e., those who live closer than at the extremes to know one another better. I approve! k. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mrs. Karin M.
